5 iPad and Tablet Holders for the Peloton Bike and Bike+
Hard, focussed Peloton workouts are great but sometimes you want to mute the instructor and distract yourself from the discomfort with old episodes of S.I.T.C. (Sex in the City) or the latest baking competitions on Netflix. While the screens on the Peloton Bike is not meant for connecting to the aforementioned shows, there are different solutions for mounting a iPad or other tablet to your Peloton Bike or Peloton Bike+ so that you can perform the prescribed workout and follow the venturesome antics of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha.
In separate articles we have already reviewed the best phone mounts for Peloton bikes and the best laptop desks for Peloton bikes. But for this particular article we have tested and reviewed the following 5 iPad and tablet holders for the Peloton Bike and Bike+ to help choose the right tablet and iPad holder for you:
Lamicall Indoor Bike Tablet Holder
Compatible with Peloton Bike and Bike +
Compatible with any sized iPad, tablet or iPhone the Lamicall Bike Tablet holder requires no tools and is easy to mount on the handlebars of your Peloton Bike or Bike+. The mounting clamp expands from 14-34mm and the ball-joint allows for 360-degree rotation making it easy to swivel your iPad for off-the-bike stretching.
When tightening the plastic ring that secures the ball-joint, we were afraid of stripping the threads and this would be especially concerning when using an older, heavier iPad or tablet. While the clamp was easy to use, the design limits where you can mount the tablet holder on the Peloton Bike. If you are using the Lamicall tablet holder solely for your Peloton Bike and you are using it to hold a newer, lighter iPad or tablet then this model is a great consideration.
Jubor Peloton Bike Tablet and iPad Holder
Compatible with Peloton Bike and Bike +
The Jubor tablet holder is one of our favourite tablet holders for Peloton Bike and not just because it is the most affordable option on our list. The holder expands to accommodate a tablet or phone 4.7-12.9 inches tall which means even an iPhone with a thick, protective case will work.
The tablet comes in two pieces and a user guide. It is made from durable, ABS plastic and the arm with the adjustable loop-style clamp clicks into the base which holds the tablet. The expandable holder comes with a ¼ inch screw that makes it capable of mounting to a tripod stand for off-the-bike use. The loop-style clamp is easy to adjust and also comes with a rubber shim for installing on bars smaller than 1.5 inches in diameter.
We predict that some users will struggle with the assembly and installation of the tablet holder. However, the multiple mounting options the Jubor Peloton tablet holder provides is what makes it one of our favourite models.
Aerow Peloton iPad and Tablet Holder
Compatible with Peloton Bike and Bike +
The Aerow Phone and Peloton bike tablet holder is the simplest model on our list and one of the most affordable. The simple hanging design allows you to place it over top the screen on your Peloton Bike or Bike+ and rest your phone or iPad on the tray of this tablet holder. The backing is padded to prevent scratching the Peloton screen.
Because this is a one-piece holder, there are no adjustments for angling the tablet. Yet the fact that there are no parts to adjust, and no tightening of clamps or rings means this tablet is the easiest to install and removes the worry about damaging parts. For the rider who wants a no-fuss product, we think the Aerow Peloton bike iPad Holder is the product you’ve been looking for.
Abovetek Peloton Handlebar Mount for iPad and Tablet
Compatible with Peloton Bike and Bike +
Abovetek has developed a great product with their Universal Handlebar Mount. This tablet holder is our number one pick on our list of iPad holders for the Peloton Bike and Bike+. This tool-free product is the most adjustable phone holder we have found and has a large 1-2” closure making it versatile for mounting on your handlebar, tripod and most treadmills, bicycles and other gym equipment. The ball-joint system gives it the ability to rotate your screen 360 degrees. And the pull-tab closure makes it the easy install and remove.
This is one of the Peloton bike accessories that we recommend for riders who want an easy mounting system with the ability to rotate their tablets 360 degrees.
Arkon TAB086-12 Heavy-Duty Tablet Clamp
5
2 used from $29.58
Compatible with Peloton Bike and Bike +
Last on our list is the TAB086-12 by Arkon, a burly tablet holder with 12” bendable arm and clamping system. This is the heaviest and most expensive iPad holder for Peloton Bikes on our list and one that we’d recommend for riders looking for a multi-use Peloton tablet mount. This tablet mount offers the largest clamp, accommodating up to 3.5 inches which makes it ideal for clamping to tables and desks as well as the handlebars on your Peloton Bike.
We like the long, adjustable arm that allows the user to bend and twist the iPad holder to their preferred position. However, we found the clamp awkward to use and the long neck was difficult to position exactly where we wanted it because the weight of the tablet would bend the neck and reposition the tablet.
We think the Arkon TAB086-12 Heavy-Duty Tablet clamp is best suited for riders who are also wanting to clamp their tablet holders to hard surfaces and position their iPads in an upright position. We don’t recommend this product for clamping onto the grips of the handlebars of your Peloton bikes because the flat clamp will compress and potentially damage the foam grips.
