It's absurd to me that you pay a company $2,500-$3,000 for a bike and then are expected to pay $39 a month ($468 a year) just to ride it with the features that caused you to buy it in the first place.. I definitely understand the correlation to gym memberships, but you are not getting access to a full gym, amenities, staff, and facilities.. The overhead is far less than operating a gym and the outreach is exceptionally larger.. Must be making a killing... Thankfully, my apartment complex has 2 peloton bikes with the All Access Membership feature. Since no one ever uses the gym, it's basically become my own personal peloton. I'll definitely continue using the most out of it, but wow.. I suppose for $1 it works for some people, but for others maybe not. If the bike cost less and had a membership, that's one thing... but when you spend almost $3,000 on a bike and are expected to shell out almost $500 a year to ride it? That's wild.

I'm with you on this. Without that feature its just another bike - that feature is what sold it ... so why do they not 'have to' tell ppl that feature is not included with the bike for free - it's an additional $39 a month.

I don't have any IOS devices only Android. It has always passed me off that Cadence is not supported on Android devices & only only IOS. Which is crazy since Peloton hardware is built on Android fork! So I thought it interesting that you said they were going to remove cadence from ios apps? What is your source on this? If that is the case then I guess we will now never see it on Android if they are now also going to remove from IOS aps
As of a few months ago, I was just using the app, and you could still cast your cadence it (with Wahoo sensors).

Thanks! Get to building :D the Echelon is an easy assembly! Peloton has some sort of referral program, but it's only if you refer a Bike sale and you can only refer like 12 per year, unfortunately our referral code is already maxed out for this year but starting in january we can refer 12 more I believe, which gets you $100 off accessories if i remember correctly. Nothing for the digital app or anything else unfortunately.. thanks for asking though!

@tvdavis2 жыл бұрын
I know you asked the question months ago, but I’ve had the regular Peloton Bike (not the Bike+) for a year. One of the shortcomings is that it doesn’t automatically work with the Apple Watch for heart rate stats on the screen; you have to use an app that’s frankly kind of flakey. I use a heart rate armband that connects to the Peloton via Bluetooth & it does show the heart rate stats on the screen, just like the Apple Watch does on the Bike+.

SoI do have one question that you did not touch on, so if you pay the $39 for the all access app, will it permit you to connect smart bikes like the Schwinn, Echelon or Costco Proform bike and still give you all the metrics, some the metrics, such as the cadence the you heard will be taken away from the digital only app? Or are those features reserved strictly for Peloton bikes?
@TailHappyTV3 жыл бұрын
Basically, no. You are required to get the all access for Peloton bikes and then you get all metrics and leaderboard etc. You can still use the app on another non-peloton bike however, you will not get the leaderboard. You also will not get cadence or resistance etc since that is a feature of the bike and not something the app can interact with in general, however some bikes such as the schwinn ic4 can display cadence and heart rate onto a tablet via the peloton app regardless of membership level. Hope this helps.

The Wahoo Tickr HR Monitor is perfect! I use this and it is probably the most accurate HR monitor I've found. I definitely enjoy monitoring my HR zone and staying above the 95% threshold. I haven't tried to connect my fitbit, but I assume that would work. The HR monitor on the fitbit is nowhere near as accurate though. My Wahoo shows my HR at 191 and my Fitbit says 140. Huge difference.

You can’t use it ON the bike but you can have it streaming to a different device (tv, tablet etc.) and r spin on the Peleton. You will not have the benefit of the Peloton features. It will just operate as a “regular” not connected spin bike. Currently you can do that with any other bike so need to pay extra for a P in that case.

I have the same question. Peloton says they offer 3 classes and free rides w/out the all access. So we will be trying using the digital app on an iPad with classes, and use the Free Ride on the main Peloton monitor to see the metrics. I discussed this with Peloton on a chat, and free rides will continue to show the metrics on their monitor. You’ll have to use two displays, iPad and Peloton bike monitor, but save $27/mo. I have not tried this yet, but our all access will be paused in 2 days and we’ll start a 12.99 digital and hope from there it will all work as the Peloton chat operator stated..
