Peloton Bike (substituted for Peloton Bike+): What to Know
Substitution disclosure: the original candidate was Peloton Bike+. We checked this specifically rather than assuming, and the Amazon dp page for "Original Peloton Bike and Bike+" has no add-to-cart button, no buy-now option, and no "see all buying options" link, the signs of an inactive listing. Searching Amazon directly for "Peloton Bike+" returns only power adapters, toe-cage pedal converters, handlebar accessories, and a third-party used listing, never a new first-party bike. What Amazon does currently sell new, with a working buy box, is the standard Peloton Bike under the listing referenced here.
According to that listing's own feature bullets, this current Bike has a 21.5-inch full HD swivel touchscreen (smaller than Bike+'s 23.8-inch screen, per Peloton's own site comparison of the two models), supports riders from 4'11" to 6'5" up to 297 lbs, and includes Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C charging, and front-facing speakers. Resistance is controlled by a manual knob rather than a numbered scale, which is a genuine structural difference from every other bike in this guide: Peloton doesn't publish a "32 levels" or "100 levels" style spec, because the resistance system isn't stepped the same way.
The subscription cost here is not optional in any meaningful sense: the class library, leaderboard, and most of what differentiates a Peloton from a plain spin bike require a Peloton All-Access Membership, listed on the Amazon listing itself at $49.99/month. Peloton also offers a cheaper app-only tier for people who don't need hardware-synced metrics, but if you're buying this bike specifically for the on-bike screen experience, budget for the $49.99/month figure, not a lower one.
If what you specifically wanted was Bike+'s larger 23.8-inch screen or its ability to swivel further for off-bike strength and floor work, know that this substitute is the smaller-screened standard Bike, not Bike+, and that Bike+ itself remains purchasable directly from onepeloton.com even though it isn't currently on Amazon. For anyone comparing options within this guide's Amazon-verified constraint, this is still the pick for the deepest and most polished class library, at the highest ongoing cost of the five.
