Peloton launches a new option for their customers, where they give out the option for those to assemble their fitness bikes on their own. However, the option is only available for those who purchase the original Peloton Bike through Amazon and it is without an additional discount.
Prior to this, the date and time would have to be set for delivery, and specialists enter the home just for installation. Now according to the Peloton blog, the company is rolling out a self-assembly process after having feedback from members that they would like to be "involved in the set-up process." Online on YouTube, there is a full instructional video that is 11-minutes long to assemble the bike.
