TalkBack displays a green box around a selected item when it’s in focus. Once activated, this shortcut can be used to toggle TalkBack on Tread on or off. This shortcut can also be configured from the Accessibility Menu. If this is the first time activating TalkBack, you will be prompted to confirm this setup. You can also activate TalkBack on your Tread by holding the physical volume up (vol+) and down (vol-) button on the right side of the touchscreen for 3 seconds.

If the Safety Key is detached while the Peloton Tread’s belt is moving, the belt comes to an immediate stop, an urgent chime is played, and the touchscreen announces “Stopping Tread, Safety Key pulled”. You will then be able to wake up your Tread, by pressing the stop button, interacting with the speed or incline knobs, or pressing the power button on the back of the Tread tablet. Please note, you can disable tap-to-wake by toggling it off in the device settings. Once you are clipped in, tap the touchscreen to wake it up. The Tread will play a chime when you have successfully connected it. To attach the Safety Key, insert the magnet end into the Safety Key port below the Stop button. The Tread’s Safety Key port is located underneath the Stop button in the middle of the handlebar. The Peloton Tread only functions when the Safety Key is present and fully engaged. Please orient yourself with the Handrail before using the Peloton Tread. Use the Handrail for support, but avoid resting your whole weight on the Handrail. The Peloton Handrail is present to help stabilize you if you feel like you are off balance or falling. TalkBack, a screen reader developed by Google®, allows Members to have their metrics (speed, incline, output) read to them when they tap on the touchscreen and provides assistance when entering their Tread Lock passcode, adjusting the speed/incline, and navigating the Peloton Tread menus.


We’re proud to add TalkBack to the Peloton Tread to allow Members to receive spoken feedback from the Peloton Tread touchscreen. Peloton is committed to providing the best, most immersive, and accessible experiences for all of our Members.
