NordicTrack maker iFit Health & Fitness Inc. filed a U.S. trade complaint seeking to block imports of Peloton Interactive Inc.’s stationary bikes, escalating a dispute over home-fitness equipment and adding to Peloton’s woes.
While the case involves the Peloton Bike+ stationary bikes that alternate between bicycling and weight lifting, “the unauthorized use of patented inventions by Peloton is pervasive,” iFit said in the complaint filed Wednesday with the U.S. International Trade Commission.
