Have had this for a couple of months. Works great. Surprising comfortable for a plastic seat. Was a bit painful in some of the assembly.

Solid construction, easy to assemble. The digital screen covers the basics nothing too techy. Good machine to ride while watching your favorite shows

Schwinn 230 is a disaster

I picked up the bike from Bestbuy and the box had damage on it. After I built the bike I noticed the plastic piece from the back of the frame was actually cracked and broken and wasn't a step I missed. Best buy refused to reimburse or to pick up and replace the bike. In the end I'm stuck with the bike due to the inconvenience of borrowing a truck to return it. In regard to the bike the display is too dim, and it has certain words that are too tiny to see. The handlebars are badly designed and can barely be reached from a normal sitting position if you're a tall person. The lack of a fan is a nuisance to the point I ordered a separate one to attach to the console. Multiple plastic pieces pop off and don't fit correctly on the bike, so you have to continue reattaching them and hoping they stay. In the end I don't recommend this bike. The previous Gold's gym bike I had was half the price, had a fan, more work out programs, and a better display. Schwin failed on this one.

I must still call them to find out if the display screen lights up. I like it, although the seat is very hard. I put a pillow for the back, and I may look for one for the seat --it must be very flat. It's a good looking machine and my son assembled it for me. He says it was not too difficult.

The bike seems well built. Easy to adjust seat. Non adjustable handlebars. The computer has a few basic easy to use preset exercise programs plus you can adjust the peddling resistance whenever you want.
The only negative is the pedal straps aren’t adjustable to be long enough to get my feet in as deep as I like.

Using this recumbent exercise bike to recover from knee surgery. It is easy to ride and provides the necessary knee flexibility required for building up muscles.

We purchased for husband to excercise and it is great for his back due to the backrest. The only down fall is the back is very big and take up a lot of room in my small office area.
Other than that it has all the amentities we need for a great workout.

This is a user friendly bike. I recently had a knee replacement surgery & my surgeon recommended I get access to a recombinant bike & use daily! So much easier to have one of my own than go to a gym! This one I purchased at Best Buy is wonderful. They delivered it set it up for me. Is something I will use long after my knee is healed!

I really like it as it's virtually silent. I really don't care about programs, so just a sturdy and quiet bike is fine for me. I ride it for long periods like an hour to 1.5 hours at a time. For short periods the seat is fine, but it gets uncomfortable after about 45 minutes for me. I am just buying a cushion to make it more comfortable. Putting it together was relatively straight forward and takes about 2 hours. I only needed help for about 5 minutes during the assembly. The screen is a little hard to see in dim light, but that's not really a big deal to me. For the money, I think it's about as good as you can expect.

Hello! It sounds like your Schwinn 230 Recumbent Bike is meeting your workout needs, and we're excited to hear it! If you're having issues with the lighting on the screen, we suggest making sure your bike isn't sitting in direct light, as that can make the screen more difficult to see. If you have any questions or concerns, you can call Customer Care at (800) 605-3369, Monday – Friday from 6am to 5pm PST, and we'll be happy to help! - SchwinnFitness Team

Very good bike. Functions as it should. Took a while to put together. There were so many parts. The bike was a little longer than I was anticipating. The plug is in the very front of the bike which is weird. Cord is a little short.

I have been using this recumbent bike since I bought it on a daily basis. I started out slow (15 minutes per day) and have gradually climbed to 1 hour per day. It’s a great find!

Great bike overall, very easy to use. The seat is the one set back, no pun intended but it is not the easiest to adjust. Otherwise is is a pretty good bike.

Comfortable and is easy to use. Perfect addition to our covid19 exercise equipment. After reading endless reviews, glad we spent a little more $ and got a trusted brand.
