Got the bike + today with free delivery, $350 off plus a $700 cash rebate on the trade in. Definitely a good time to trade in now, plus some free yoga and resistance schwag. Love all the features you mentioned plus I was picking at the logo today on my first ride.
Unfortunately here in the uk we don’t, yet, have the option to trade in the original for the plus but that may be coming soon but i suspect the value of the older bikes will be rather minimal and you’d get a lot less than selling privately, though a lot less stress and no scammers!
Very well done and so helpful. I am late to the Peloton but am close to pulling the trigger. Thanks again for taking the time to do this and continued success.
I have the bike plus, my dad has the original bike, I think the plus is such a more enjoyable experience with the screen, speakers, auto follow, and resistance.
These bike pluses can be found for $700 to $1200 in the NY Metro area, and the standard ones can go for as low as $200. Going to grab one of these soon hopefully thanks for the comparison.
I debated between the regular and the bike+. When examining the two, I feel the regular was better built. The extra $1,000 just was not worth it to me. I love my Peloton and ride daily.
Good to know, we have been looking at getting a bike and may just go for the first version as it doesn't look like the extra $1000 is worth it. Being able to use our apple watches and having the bigger screen and better speakers would be nice, but not worth the extra $1000 for us probably.
I’m curious about the rental option. The different between the bike and bike+ is $30. What do you think? When you remove the subscription cost of $44 the actual rental price is responsible to me.
Was thinking about getting the Bike+ but the swivel freaks me out. Everyone knows that any moving parts with wires will eventually fail. It's been 4mo since this video, has there been any new opinions since then on the Bike+?
You're right the Bike+ screen is more responsive because of the tech behind it. Bike has 2.0 GHz Mediatek MT8173 quad core processor vs Bike+ 2.5 GHz Qualcomm QCS605 processor. Also, Bike has 2 GB RAM whereas Bike+ has 4 GB RAM
Solid review! You have me enough info to go with regular bike. I have a bike from 2018. Do you know if they've updated screen on regular bike in last few years?
Question: Do you use the Peloton shoes? Or did you get your own separately? Nike shoes are usually too narrow for me, but adidas and Brooks are fine. I’ve heard Peloton shoes run narrow. Is that true?
My wife and I were just at the store and all the employees suggested the regular versus the plus. Found that interesting. We ordered the regular. Will use that other $1000 on other things for fitness :)
@@BreakItYourself their response was the added features weren’t worth extra money and we were told the expenses for repaint the bike plus was almost twice as much
Bike + Bigger Screen Better looking Screen Quieter than old version Auto Follow Resistance Better Speakers Auto calibration Better looking aesthetic Screen is now faster processor more ram Knobs instead of pins Original Bike Cheaper
I have watched a ton of this comparison video's and I cannot justify an extra 1k plus the membership, rather you can afford it or not, I just don't see enough of a difference. I can spend that extra money on improving the original especially being new to cycling I am a beginner.
Purchased the Bike Plus back in June 2021. For the past couple of months I’ve been experiencing pedal crank noise & wobbly handlebar issues. I contacted Peleton tech support, sent them uploaded videos and I was told that replacement parts were going to be ordered and shipped directly to me, a third party vendor is going to contact me to schedule an appointment to replace the parts. Frankly, I didn’t spend nearly $3K for the bike & extended warranty to have a third party vendor come out to troubleshoot. I’m not too happy about that. It makes me feel like PELETON is no different than Nordictrack. So keep that in mind before you spend your hard earned money.
I am a ux researcher assistant who is looking for user feed back from Peloton bikes, I wounder if you or anyone in the chat would be Interested for a one hour interview section with £100 reward voucher. Please let me know, thank you.
So for cardio you are doing just one muscle, quads? And paying someone 40 usd each month for burning calories, ie losing energy. A first world issues...
Excellent review! I really appreciated you downright given your opinion and recommendation for purchase at the end. Thank you!!

The Black Friday deal is pretty good!

Great video, I ordered my Bike+ a few days ago… kind of wish I had found your video sooner!
thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you found my video helpful. I'm sure you're still going to love the Bike+

I was so close to purchase this bike, until you make the comment about size and weight limit. I’m 6.4 tall 325 pounds.

Thanks. This is very helpful. Trying to decide which (if any) to get during this Black Friday sale.
thanks for the kind words!
Thank you so much! This review was very helpful.
Very helpful and informative. Thanks for making this review.
Thanks for the kind words!
Love the channel brother

Bought the plus and glad I did

I have nike shoes and haven't ever tried the Peloton branded shoes. The nike ones I have are definitely very narrow.
Really appreciate the review thank you. I'm deliberating between both as a first time purchase. Difference is £630 - difficult to justify as you say.
Is getting a barely used Bike + for $900 a good deal? Previous owner bought it march 2022
My wife and I were just at the store and all the employees suggested the regular versus the plus. Found that interesting. We ordered the regular. Will use that other $1000 on other things for fitness :)
that is super interesting that even the store would agree. Just make sure you use it haha

Has anyone purchased one off of marketplace? If so, was it a positive experience?
What are your thoughts on the warranty for the Bike+?
I just assumed the Bike+ warranty was the same as the Bike and that it was very, very limited. What do you think of the warranty?

Can you use the samsung smart watch too?

what do you expect them to do exactly? their sending you parts and someone to fix it?
Just got the peleton bike regular and I have to wait for a new monitor. It does not work.
