Schwinn - 230 Recumbent Bike - Gray

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%

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.

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

Very happy with this purchase. The bike assembles easily. It’s quiet and comfortable, though I slip a pillow on the seat when I ride for 40 minutes. The heart rate works well enough if you press firmly on the handles, otherwise, you’ll get erratic readings. This bike is a great choice for home use. It’s compact, easy to move, and fits easily into a small space. I have no complaints after a month of use.

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.

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.
