Peloton is a popular home fitness equipment that allows you to enjoy high-intensity cycling workouts with a 21.5-inch touchscreen monitor.
The monitor lets you access the Peloton app, live classes, music, performance metrics and more.
However, you may want to turn off the screen after using the bike for various reasons, such as saving energy, avoiding light disturbance, or ensuring privacy.
How To Turn Off The Peloton Screen
In this article, we will show you how to turn off the Peloton screen in a few simple steps.
Turning Off The Peloton Screen Completely
If you want to turn off the screen and the bike completely, you need to follow these steps:
- Locate the power button on the back of the touchscreen monitor, at the top.
- Press and hold the power button for two seconds until a pop-up window appears on the screen.
- Select “Shut Down” from the pop-up window and wait until the screen is fully off.
- Locate the physical power switch on the deck of the bike and turn it off.
- Optionally, unplug the bike from the power outlet if you are not going to use it for a long time.
This is the safest and officially recommended method to turn off your Peloton bike and screen.
Putting The Peloton Screen To Sleep
If you don’t want to turn off the screen completely, you can put it to sleep mode instead.
This will save some energy and prevent light disturbance, but it will also allow you to wake up the screen quickly by tapping on it or pressing the power button.
There are two ways to put the screen to sleep:
- Press and hold the stop button on the handrail of the bike for five seconds.
- Press the power button on the back of the touchscreen monitor once.
The screen will go to sleep mode automatically if you leave the bike idle for 20 minutes.
However, some users have reported that their screen does not go to sleep mode automatically or randomly wakes up due to “phantom touches” on the screen.
This can happen because of interference from the power source or voltage spikes. To solve this problem, you can use a surge protector between the bike and the power outlet.
This will also protect your bike from potential damage due to power fluctuations.
