Peloton launches cheaper folding treadmill Tread Flex
Peloton introduces the $2,195 Tread Flex, a folding treadmill designed for compact spaces and walkers, alongside refreshed Tread Vision and Tread Plus Vision models with updated hardware and AI features.
The Tread Flex lowers the entry barrier for Peloton's treadmill ecosystem, targeting space-constrained users like urban walkers and renters. Its folding mechanism and reduced price aim to expand the addressable market beyond current high-end adopters, though safety limitations and deck size may restrict broader appeal.
