Schwinn - 230 Recumbent Bike - Gray

Nice recumbent bike. The seat is hard so you may want to use a cushion. The bike is quiet and smooth. Took me about 2 hours to put it together. All and all I like it so far. Gives you a good workout, more so it seems than the exercise bikes with the seat up much higher.

This Bike is a replacement for 15 year old Recumbent Bike. I reviewed several Bikes and this model fit my exercise needs the best. Being on sale $449.00 instead of a list price of $699.00 made the purchase affordable and within my budget. I had Best Buy Geek Squad deliver it and the delivery was on time for the date requested. Assembly was easy at just under two hours. Overall the quality is what I am used to getting from Schwinn and this Bikes quality is excellent. Since this Bike was quite an improvement over my previous Bike there was a slight adjustment to find the exercise programs that I like. Have used it twice and am satisfied with the programs offered. My only suggestion would be to add a backlit LCD for the control panel. You should not have to spend $200.00 more to get the next model up just for a back lit LCD.

The unit is quiet and works as described but the unit was delivered with a misaligned plate, holding the control console, welded to the handlebar mast. So the console tilts on a strong angle rather than straight up and down. All warranty service goes through Nautilus, owner of the Schwinn brand, and there is a very long (50+ minute) wait to connect with support. They replaced the part for me but provided a part of a model year 2013 bike which had a different console so the holes do not align. Nautilus cannot seem to figure out how to get the right handlebar mast for the model bike currently sold by Best Buy.

This bike is super great! I have bad knees, bone on bone and the ride on this bike is smooth and pain free! It’s silent and easy to built! The seat is like heaven, comfy! It really helps all my stiff joints...Best buy I’ve made for myself! 100%

We love it. Great bike for the money. Easy decision. Thanks

This is my second recumbent bike and after only having it 3 weeks I regret that it was not my first. It's a solid, sturdy machine that gives me what I know in my muscles is an authentic workout. My first bike was easy to use, creaky, and gave me the impression that because my legs were moving I was getting a workout. Oh, was I fooled. Granted, it was cheaper. My regrets lie in the facts that I could have been working out on a machine like the one I have now and the progress I've missed out on.

SWEEPSTAKES. The seat is very uncomfortable, it has too much forward tilt and no adjustment. I am 6'2" with long legs so I fight sliding forward which disrupt my work out. The BP is wrong it shows me with a BP of 200 plus. While the bike appears flimsy it seems solid and at the price more than worth the money.

I wanted a recumbent bike and first tried a cheap foldable bike (but it was terribly made and uncomfortable). This Schwinn 230 does take up space but worth the quality and upgrade. It's enjoyable and feels sturdy like the one in my physical therapists office. The leg step through is easy to maneuver at only 2" high from the ground and the width of the flywheel area between your lower legs is great for aligned knee position while pedaling.
