Peloton secretly hatched a plan last year to cover up signs of rust and corrosion on exercise bikes that were later sent to customers in an initiative that was reportedly known internally as “Project Tinman.”
The policy was reportedly met with anger and alarm by Peloton insiders who spoke to the outlet — noting their view that Peloton scrapped its own quality control standards to meet “unrealistic” sales targets. “Sometimes bikes had stuff on the outside, so we couldn’t deliver them, but . . . [there were] a lot of bikes that were rusted on the inside that they still sold,” one current Peloton employee added.In a lengthy statement to the Post, a Peloton spokesperson said an inspector at a facility in Cologne, Germany, first found signs of “superficial rust” on the inner tubes of some bike components during pre-delivery examinations conducted in September 2021.
