Tips and tricks for buying a used Peloton bike
The pandemic has not only forced people to rethink their working routines but also where to exercise. Social distancing protocols and mask-wearing ruled out going to the gym for many.
Through these trying times, Peloton’s exercise equipment became all the rage. And where demand is greater than the supply, it can be rather tough to get your hands on a Peloton Bike right now. Tap or click for fitness gadgets you can pick up right now.
With a starting price tag of $1,895 for the Basic package and an eight-week delivery period, people are now looking at buying second-hand bikes instead. Looking at local classified ads is a good starting place, but there are some things that you need to consider.
Where to start the Peloton search
There are plenty of online resources that you can tap into to buy a used bike. But the most convenient way is local classified listings.
- Local marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp. Tap or click here to see how these marketplaces compare.
Facebook Marketplace allows you to filter search results by changing the distance from your current location. Unless shipping is specified in the listing, keep in mind the bike would need to be transported. Finding a great deal on the other side of the state might not be worth it, as shipping could be more than your savings.
OfferUp is another great local alternative for finding used exercise equipment. By searching near you or specifying a location, you can browse what is for sale. Doing a quick search, we found three Peloton bikes up for sale in New York for between $1,750 and $2,000.
- Online fitness communities
Have a look at the social media pages of fitness communities, as users will regularly post used items up for sale. Peloton mentions the “Peloton Buy Sell Trade” Facebook page on its website, as members have bought bikes through it in the past.
Broaden your Peloton search
