Peloton On Carpet Vs Hardwood

The representative recommended we try it with just the mat and consider using plywood if that turns out not to be stable enough.

Peloton on carpet vs hardwood.

That s it right here this is the best mat you get get. Most modern carpet is created by threading closely spaced loops of synthetic fibers through large sheets of backing material. If your bike is placed on a hard floor then it should be rock steady. Aka a wobbly peloton.

The peloton installer even noted about the quality of the mat. Laminate is more diy friendly and moisture resistant than both wood and carpet. Laminate the cost to install laminate flooring averages 2 750 compared to hardwood s average of 4 400 and carpet s average of 1 600. I just got off the phone with peloton sales.

In itself that s not a problem. There are some natural fiber carpets mostly cotton or wool but the vast majority use synthetic materials such as nylon to polyester. It seems to attenuate vibrations and most importantly for us it protects our hardwood perfectly. The ideal position for your peloton is on a hard surface but many times such a surface isn t available and instead your bike will need to go on carpet.

However you re likely to get some wobbling of the bike especially on a deeper pile carpet.
