People who pre-ordered a Peloton Tread+ received an email yesterday that their treads would begin shipping within the next two weeks – this comes after Peloton’s long-awaited re-release of the Tread+ to the public. Head below for more details.
Back in 2021, Peloton and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPS) recalled Peloton Tread+ machines due to hundreds of incident reports, including the death of a child; the primary issue was that pets and people were being sucked underneath the Tread. The fix, a rear guard, was approved by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, and in December of 2023, Peloton announced that the Tread+ was once again available.
Peloton offered customers the chance to return their Tread+ for a refund, or after a particular date, they could return it for a partial refund. Some chose to keep their Tread+ machines and with the USCPS’ approval, instructions for setting up a rear guard installation began rolling out earlier this month.
The email from Peloton to members who pre-ordered the Tread+ reads:
We are beginning Tread+ deliveries in the next two weeks and expect to finish all existing preorder deliveries by April. Emails will be sent to schedule delivery on a rolling basis based on both the date of the preorder and the available inventory we have in each area. When your delivery is ready to be scheduled, we will contact you via email and phone to ensure you’re able to schedule as quickly as possibe. Please be on the lookout for this invite.
Thank you again for your preorder and being a Peloton Member. We look forward to seeing you on the Tread+ leaderboard soon!
When the Peloton Tread+ became available for pre-order on December 6, it was with a $1,000 discount that expired on January 9, meaning if you want to purchase a Peloton Tread+, the total cost will come to $5,995.
