Peloton does not stand behind their product. This is a common issue, as you tell from all the comments. Zero response from Peloton. I purchased two of these back to back. SINGLE FLASHING RED LIGHT. Customer service lies and don't know what they are doing. They love to sell you but when it comes to service, You are on your own.
Same here. Everything delivered new yesterday. HR pod has single red light that flashes. Nothing more. Support said needed new battery. Asked them to send me new device when they gave me incorrect instructions how to replace battery.
