How to Move a Peloton Bike or Tread Safely

A Peloton is easier to move than a commercial treadmill, but it is still heavy, top-heavy and fitted with a large touchscreen. Here is how to move one without damaging the machine, your floors or yourself.

How heavy is a Peloton?

• Peloton Bike: about 135 lb
• Peloton Bike+: about 140 lb
• Peloton Tread: about 290 lb

The Bike can be moved by two careful adults over a short, flat distance. The Tread is a different job: at almost 300 lb, it needs proper equipment and usually a professional crew.

Before you start

1. Check your manual and warranty. Peloton publishes moving guidance for its products; follow it, and keep any parts you remove in a labelled bag.
2. Measure the route: doorways, hallways, stair turns and the elevator.
3. Protect the floor along the whole route with runners or cardboard.

Moving a Peloton Bike or Bike+

1. Unplug the power cord and disconnect the cables from the back of the touchscreen.
2. Remove or secure the screen. The screen is the most fragile part. If you remove it, wrap it in a moving blanket and carry it separately, screen side protected.
3. Lower the seat and handlebar posts and tighten the adjustment knobs so nothing slides.
4. Tilt the bike forward onto its front transport wheels — one person at the handlebars, one supporting the back — and roll it slowly. Never drag it.
5. Lift, do not roll, on stairs. Use two people, take one step at a time, and keep the bike upright.
6. In the vehicle, keep the bike upright if possible, strap it to the side wall and pad it with blankets.

Moving a Peloton Tread

1. Unplug the Tread and remove the safety key.
2. Disconnect and protect the touchscreen.
3. Do not try to lift it by the handrails alone — lift from the base frame, with at least two (ideally three) people.
4. Use a heavy-duty dolly or appliance dolly, strap the Tread securely, and protect floors and door frames.
5. Stairs are where most accidents happen. For basements, condos or long carries, hire movers with stair equipment.

After the move

• Place the machine on a level, solid surface, ideally on a mat.
• Reconnect the screen and power, check that the screen is firmly secured and run a short, easy session to confirm everything works.
• If anything feels loose or noisy, stop and contact Peloton support or your movers.

When to call professional Peloton movers

Call a pro if you are moving a Tread, going up or down stairs, moving into a condo with a booked elevator, or moving long distance. Professional gym equipment movers bring dollies, straps and padding, and take responsibility for the machine during the move.
