Peleton exercise bike

Has anybody got one? If so can anybody tell me if you can remove the handlebars and the seat post to help with moving it?

Not sure you'll find much help around here. It's a Cycling forum not a spin class backwater. You must have an instruction booklet that shipped with it. Try a Facebook Peloton group or YouTube should have a guide.

My eyes water at the subscription costs

Can't see anyone here having one, their business model has been ridiculed & ripped to shreds previously.

I hope they go bankrupt to be honest. Why can't their customers see a mid level smart trainer with a Zwift or other platform is far cheaper and much more effective?

Because they are mugs, more money then sense is their target audience

You're aware the OP has got one, right?

Each to their own, I say. It’s not for me but I’m a big advocate of any exercise over the couch potato lifestyle so to that end I see Peleton as a good thing.
My choice is Zwift and a smart turbo, but it’s different strokes for different folks hey.

I just don't like how the bike is cheaply made but costs more than a Neo. I don't like their sexist Christmas advert. I don't like how they tried to sue GPLama because he had The Peleton news and they tried to claim copywrite on the word Peleton. I can't stand the adverts, but yeah it's better than sat watching Netflix eating pizza.

Or they could, and hear me out here, just ride a bike instead. Radical, I know, bit worth a thought?

The target audience are busy time crunched middle class types so it's not convenient to ride a real bike.

I don’t understand the vitriol that some people have against a company, especially one that they cannot spell, it is Peloton not Peleton. They provide a service that many people love and gets them active. OK it is not for me right now, but never say never as actually a lot of the workouts are very similar to trainer road. The company and its backers have put in a huge amount of money and are still not making a profit.

Back to the OP, I don’t have one, but I believed from reading DCRainmaker who shipped a used one from the US that you can disassemble it.

Well glad for all the helpfulness here.

They’d need to buy a bike too though

I just don't think that would ever catch on, would it?
