This is ridiculous, these bikes are a fad. The company will get sold to a gym or furniture giant for pennies once people get bored and realize they paid $2,000

This is ridiculous, these bikes are a fad. The company will get sold to a gym or furniture giant for pennies once people get bored and realize they paid $2,000 for a clothes hanger.
I will say it's an interesting take on an old business. Furniture and exercise equipment manufacturers have this problem where everybody buys their stuff and they go bankrupt because nobody needs new equipment after the initial purchase. So attaching the subscription business model to this might give them a bit more longevity!
- joezydeco 8y agoThink about how many people sign up for gym memberships and then never use them but keep paying the monthly fee.
- Zimahl 8y agoDoesn't make gyms $4 billion businesses.
- joezydeco 8y agoWhat other fitness equipment manufacturer has cashflow not tied to equipment sales?
- throwaway82729 8y agoNow they'll keep paying that and have a $2k clothes hanger at home.
