If it s on a low or short pile carpet then it should also be good and steady.
Peloton on carpet vs hardwood.
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.
That s it right here this is the best mat you get get.
It seems to attenuate vibrations and most importantly for us it protects our hardwood perfectly.
If your bike is placed on a hard floor then it should be rock steady.
I just got off the phone with peloton sales.
Most modern carpet is created by threading closely spaced loops of synthetic fibers through large sheets of backing material.
I m planning to place my order for the bike soon and had a few questions one of which was regarding the need for plywood if the bike is to be placed on carpet.
The peloton installer even noted about the quality of the mat.
In itself that s not a problem.
Aka a wobbly peloton.
However you re likely to get some wobbling of the bike especially on a deeper pile carpet.
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.
Laminate is more diy friendly and moisture resistant than both wood and carpet.
