User Reviews
Amazon's current average rating of this bike is 4.5 stars. That is exactly what I think it deserves...although I have rounded my rating up (by 0.5) to five stars to fit Amazon's questionnaire format.
I am 66 years old 5'11" and 219 lbs, while my wife (in her 50s) is 4'9" and 103 lbs. I was looking for a recumbent bike to cross-train during the days that I take a break from running. My wife needed something aerobic to supplement her daily yoga routine. Despite the differences in our ages, sizes, and exercise needs, this sturdy piece of equipment satisfies both of us almost perfectly. If it were to hold up over time, I can imagine us both using it well into old age.
On the positive side it is simply and solidly constructed, and its components easily fit together out-of-the-box; It took me about 30 minutes to assemble it (using the included tools). Although my wife is small, she has no difficulty moving it (i.e. dragging it) to different locations. The large lever used to position the seat on its frame is very easy for both of us to use. While being peddled it is silent, even at its highest level of exertion, making it a pleasure to burn calories while reading, listening to music, or watching TV. So far it has provided both of us with healthy workouts and its sensors allow us to continuously measure our heart beats per minute while peddling.
On the negative side the buttons on its control consul are non-intuitive, and its accompanying manual is not clearly written. (However, After some minor fiddling we got it to do what we wanted.) Further, its LCD screen is impossible to read under under dim light. Ergo my 0.5 deduction.
In the balance though, this item delivers a lot of value for its relatively modest cost.

So glad I didn't pay extra for shipping.Ordered on a Monday night,recieved it on the following Thursday morning,with free shipping.(Oklahoma)The monitor is a little hard to figure out but after a few minutes playing with the settings I got it set for me.My 6 year old son and I put it together in a solid hour.Directions are pretty easy to follow and all the parts were there.Used it for about an hour and it's super quiet and I never smelled anything unusual.Feels very solid and sturdy and I weigh 300 +.No complaints other than it is very heavy in the box.I had to roll it into the house.Would definitely recommend it at this price.Feels like one you would see at a gym. -- Don't pay extra for shipping
For me, this is almost the perfect exercise bike. It offers several levels of resistance, is very comfortable, and easy to use. Perhaps the best feature in my mind is that the seat is extremely easy to change positions in. There is a lever on the right side that you flip up and then you can adjust the seat to wherever you want it. This is a welcome feature since I share the bike with my girlfriend, who is a different height than me. The seat is nicely cushioned and the set programs offer a variety of different workouts. The bike doesn't take up much space either. My only complaints about it is that the screen is an odd shape, so many of the book holders you can get at sporting goods or fitness stores won't fit. I've remedied this by placing a music stand next to the bike and I read off of that instead. Also, there is sometimes a point where one resistance level seems to light and the next resistance level is too heavy. It would be nice if these gaps were filled in with more levels. I've been extremely happy with my purchase though and this seems to be one of the few pieces of exercise equipment that I use everyday. -- Great bike!
The bike was delivered by UPS in excellent condition. I was glad to be home for the delivery because I was able to ask the UPS driver bring it inside my home and drop it off in the room that it was going to be used in. But don't worry, you can assemble it in any room and easily transport it around the house, once assembled. My 109 pound wife can easily move it around. The bike was very easy to assemble without any assistance at all. It took me about 1.5 hours, but I am kind of slow about assembling things. The instruction manual is clear. The user's manual is clear too. I've used all six preset profile programs and love them all. I don't use the heart rate or manual programs so I can't comment on them. The bike is very quiet and there are no odors coming from it as other users have described.. The display is fine as long as you have some minimal lighting in the room. I am 46 years old, 6 foot 2 inches and 270 pounds and the bike accommodates my body style just fine. I have bad knees and this product does not aggravate them at all. I ride for 60 minutes every other day and come off the bike just dripping in sweat. This is a high quality bike for such a low price... and free shipping! I love the workout and I no longer have to dodge traffic on the road or deal with the annoying people, and dog walkers on the bike trail near my home. I think anyone would be satisfied with this product. -- Excellent Bike
I've had the Schwinn a month now and love it. The preset programs are great although I've only been working with 2 of the 6 available. The bike is exactly what I was looking for being close to 50 and trying to lose a few pounds and shape up. I can really get a good sweat going. Not extremely heavy so I can move it in front of the TV to watch a show or movie while pedaling away. I'm very happy with it! -- Love it!
