The purchase process and shipping was very smooth. The bike was straight forward to put together and the instructions were clear. So far, the bike has performed above my expectations. Its easy to use and it definitely is easier on my back compared to an upright bike. The electronics are user friendly and I’ve found the heart rate monitor to be accurate and on par with my Apple Watch. I’m very happy with the bike and the price. Now I just have to use it everyday!

My wife and i have used this bike for three weeks. It offers a heck of a lot and is reasonably priced. It compares favorably with bikes costing twice as much. I have arthritic knees and am waiting for to replacements. I have no trouble using this bike. It’s comfortable easy to use. And i feel a lot better. Best of all i have lost 12 pounds.

I have only had this bike for about a week so I can't talk about the quality of it overtime but I like it right now. I purchased this bike because I have back issues and knew I needed a recumbent bike (I have always used them at the gym). This is a more basic bike, it does not have a fitness program or app to go along with it. It tracks calories, heart rate, miles and overall time but that is all I was looking for. The first time I used it it bruised my back due to the placement of the logo on the seat. I am now going to put a towel/small pillow there to help. I am a pretty athletic 28 year old and the level 1 resistance is way harder than I thought it would be. It's not a problem for me but wanted to mention. I use this bike at a faster speed and it has held up so far!

I would have given this review 5 starts but the seat is not angled right for my taste, that makes you slide down during the workout. Overall, I like the bike.

Bought this to work at getting back into some kind of better physical condition, and I’m happy with the results. At my age it’s a slower pace, and it has been good for me. The machine works great, and is easy to use the programming. For the price it was a good deal for me. Recommended for someone just starting out to get in better physical condition.

This was a great buy as well as a surprise that this item was offered at Best Buy. The price was excellent, we’ve had Schwinn exercise bikes before but had not yet gotten the recumbent style bike - PERFECT!! We put it together in under an hour, and ready to ride. Free delivery. Great Price. Best Buy knows how to service customers. Highly recommend.

Great bike! The bike is easy to set up and program. The only issue I have is that it only connects to one app via Bluetooth (explore the world). You have to have the app running to record your data. So, this is the only way to get data on your phone. Also, the only way to play music from your phone to the onboard speakers, is through the headphone jack, not Bluetooth.

We have been very happy with the purchase of this Schwinn 270 Recumbent Exercise Bike. It is exactly what we were looking for and with my wife's back surgery a couple of years ago, she has been able to use the bike without any complications. She used a similar bike in her physical therapy following her surgery which is why I purchased it. Very happy with this purchase so far.
