Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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%

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.

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

Pros: - Built-in programs are ok; includes a HIIT program and Manual program for a harder workout. - Resistances levels are strong enough to feel the burn and switch fast. - Seat position adjustability and handlebars (console and side) are both usable for someone who is 6ft tall. - Assembly instructions are very clear and makes it pretty simple to assemble. It is still going to take you at least 1hr to do yourself though. There is also a Youtube assembly video of the Schwinn 230. - The warranty seems to cover more stuff for longer than cheaper bikes; granted I have not had to use said warranty yet. Cons: - No custom programs. You can change resistance levels of the built-in programs but you cannot create your own like the Schwinn 270 (no one sells this version new otherwise I would have got that one instead). - The apps this bike were designed to work with (and are recommended in the owners manual) no longer exist. The only app Schwinn website recommends is 'Explore the World' which has 0 customization and is pretty much just trying to get you to subscribe for more workout routes. - I had a misaligned part on the seat where I had to remove a bushing to get one side to actually assemble. - The console device holder is extremely thin so phone or tablet only (no laptop). - Heart rate monitor is worthless (as expected). Sometimes you get a believably accurate reading after a minute or so, but who knows if it is actually accurate.

Lightweight and slim profile. Sturdy construction. The assembly instructions are detailed, logical, and clear. The small tools needed for assembly are included. The pedal mechanism is quiet. The monitor has a ridge that perfectly holds an iPad. The seat is comfortable. This is well-designed.

I belonged to Golds Gym when Covid started and they made it clear they were not going to do anything to make the gym safe once they were able to open again. I didn’t go to work out for about 20 months and got way out of shape. When they said they were going to close I thought I needed a way to do at least some kind of work out at home. I was riding this kind of a bike at the gym so I bought one. It has been great for about two months 45 minutes a day. Took about an hour to put it together not bad even looked at the directions once or twice.

very easy to put together very light to move works well

Nice bike, make sure you use price match if you have to. I'm a total tech member this item does not fall under the 60 day return window only 14 days. To get it delivered and installed was $150.00 (free with total tech) I think it would even be worth paying for. The tech (3rd party) who delivered and set up mine was professional and quick - I think it would have taken me much longer so worth getting Best Buy to do it.

Easy to build. Miniscule electrical use. Easy to read/use screen. Silent exercise wheel, powered by you. Good holiday price.

Would be 5 if heart monitor worked and the display lit up....

GREAT Bicycle!!! I purchased this piece of equipment to help me build up stamina as I have had back and Neuropathy issues. I assembled it myself; it was very easy. All of the features, jeart rate monitor, ability to connect to I-Tunes, etc. were very easy to set up and extremely functional. Light weight, easy to store. The price was very reasonable.

The bike was delivered on time. Assembly took about 3 hours, the instructions are reasonably clear. The bike is quiet and works well. My only complaint is the seat: cheaply made and uncomfortable.

Delivery and customer service has been great. All the electronic functions of the bike work well. The resistance levels are very good. If you wanted to lean forward and grab the handle bars you can't, they are too small and too far away. The seat is a thin plastic with holes throughout, and the back of the seat is curved inward with a vertical bar behind the curve which sticks into your spine and is awfully uncomfortable! I cannot sit on the bike without a pillow or two behind my back. The cup holder is behind your back on your left side so it's fairly useless. It is certainly overpriced and I think I could have had the same quality from a lower priced bike. That said, it is a good enough bike for my needs and I hope I get many miles from it.

Very quiet. Very good value for this price range. I put a towel on the seat to make it more comfortable. Other than than, so far everything is good

love love love this bike It works well, it is quiet, comfortable, and good price! plus its great for my bed knees.

We have been looking for a stationary cycle that we could use easily and would have less impact on our knees. We searched many different types and this one was best and price was reasonable. Easy to set up. Comfy seat. The display is not back lit and to see it you have to be in well lit area. That is it only downfall. We would recommend this cycle to anyone especially those with joint issues.

The seat is a bit uncomfortable -- too hard, and it is difficult to change the resistance are the only 2 'slightly' negative things I could report. It certainly beats going for a walk or bike ride in the cold or rain. Let's see how much I use it when it is easy to get outside and I can get back to the gym! Putting it together would be easier for 2 people.

We had the recumbent bike delivered but I assembled it. Delivery was very helpful as they carried the big, heavy box down an outside flight of steps to our walk-out basement and placed it inside where I planned to assemble it. Assembly took 2 hours but everything fit well. So far it seems to work fine, with no issues.
