QuestionDoes the 270 come assembled?
Asked 5 years ago by BillyB.
- Answer It is in a large box. You will need to assemble it. The main base is already assembled. You assemble the seat and peddles and handles etc. I just finished my assembly. I am over 60 years and it took me the best part of 2 hrs by myself. I took my time. The bolts are in a numbered wrapped shrink wrapped board. It has the tools except you may want a pair of scissors and box cutter - Instructions are mainly pictures but you really do not need much.

QuestionWhat is the difference between the 230 and the 270
Asked 4 years ago by Brook.
- Answer The Schwinn 270 recumbent exercise bike has more resistance levels, programs, and user files over the 230 model. It also has a thicker padded seat and a backlit screen. Additionally, the 270 gives a better clearance when riding.

QuestionMy Schwinn 270 WON'T START! Assembled it 6 wks ago, used it for 4 wks, then had surgery. Two weeks later — no power! Bike never moved, etc. Plug is brand new, no outlet problems. Can't find any info about this online. So disappointed. PLEASE HELP!
Asked 4 years ago by neatdesign.
- Answer UPDATE: Soon after I posted my question above, I bought a replacement power cord for my Schwinn 270 on Amazon. It worked!... BUT only for a while. Three months later (on 4/02/22), I plugged in the bike and nothing happened. I'd assumed the original power cord that came with the Schwinn was faulty, but clearly something is wrong with the actual bike. I'm so disappointed and worried that this isn't fixable — that I'm stuck with a non-working bike that i can't sell and out $$$. Any advice/insight would be appreciated.

QuestionWould it be hard for a 65 year old male to move this bike on carpeted floor it says bike weights almost 90 pound
Asked 4 years ago by EdwardF.
- Answer It has a handle on the back and wheels on the front, so you would only need to lift up the back and push it (or pull) instead of picking the whole thing up off the ground to move it. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised to discover how easy it was to roll into place in our basement. However, it would be a little harder to roll on a high pile carpet so you probably wouldn’t want to move it very often.

QuestionDoes the bike need a floor mat under it to protect the floor or to keep it from shifting while in use?
Asked 5 years ago by Bobber.
- Answer It has base bars and it will not likely shift or slide. You can get a mat if you are concerned about a marble of tile floor . I have a mat for the carpet but it was not required -

QuestionHow do I connect to oculus quest 2 VZFit program via bluetooth? Oculus Experimental bluetooth pairing sees the schwinn bike and asks for a code, 0000 or 1234 but there is no keyboard to enter code on the oculus or the schwinn 270.
Asked 4 years ago by billko.
- Answer Probably not. My bike came with an app recommendation, but it doesn’t work, I can’t even get it to download. So the Bluetooth doesn’t work. It’s my only complaint with the bike.

QuestionIs this a good bike for an older person. Is it possible to have this bike delivered and assembled.
Asked 5 years ago by Diane.
- Answer This bike would be easy for an elderly person to use as long as they can get up from a low position. As far as delivery, yes....it can be delivered by Best Buy but not sure about assembly. If possible, I would recommend getting it assembled through them or another service. Although the instructions were easy to follow, it is an 8 on the difficulty scale in my opinion.

QuestionA question regarding an installation, does this unit comes with installation instruction and how difficult or need of professional helps?
Asked 3 years ago by GOBRAUN.
- Answer My husband and I are in our 70s. We were able to put our Schwinn exercise bike together. He did most of it! It came with minimal instructions. However, we searched on YouTube and found some great demos. We also found instructions on how to use all of the buttons on the bike. Who says you can’t teach old dogs new tricks! Good luck, and enjoy the smooth ride.
