Schwinn Fitness Recumbent Bike Series

Very solid, smooth ride. I'm glad my husband was there to assemble it - it took at least an hour or two. The seat is comfortable, pedaling is very smooth. It has more resistance levels than I need, for sure. I tried the JRNY app 2 month free trial. So far I really enjoy the adaptive workouts. I definitely work out harder when someone is telling me to pick up the pace or to beat my previous record. I've only had this for a week or two, but ride once or twice per day. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

It is really well-made. I did have to hire someone to put it together, but that’s mostly because I’m 78 and have arthritis. There are instructions if you have the patience. It’s comfortable and the seat is adjustable. I found the screen a little hard to read because it’s dark gray on light gray And again I’m 78. It’s quite heavy so it stays in place well and it’s quiet so I can read or play a game on my tablet to make the time go a little faster or even watch TV. The resistance is also very adjustable so it’s great for the beginner or someone who is already in better shape and just wants to stay that way And that’s a feature that I was really looking for.

Purchased this bike 2 months ago and I use it 5-6 days a week. It’s a great home workout. It is not gym quality but it is definitely higher tier home gym quality. I looked at a lot of bikes and read all of the reviews. Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase and I think the quality is great for the price.Pros: easy assembly, easy to operate, provides a great workout, no issues with seat adjustment or fit for either my wife or myself. Very smooth operation and super quietCons: there are only 2 cons and these are minor but I felt it made it a 4 star vs a 5 star. And Schwinn could easily fix these issues. First, the display is not back lit. I knew this from previous reviews so it was not a surprise. I always have my phone so no biggie to see the screen and if your work out area is well lit then seeing the screen is not an issue. My workout area is not well lit. The second thing and I did not see this in any reviews: the power cord plugs into the front of the bike. My bike face the middle of the room with the seat to the wall. Someone could very easily walk by and accidentally hit it with their foot and break it. Would recommend Schwinn make it so the power cord in in the back.Although it has Bluetooth, you need compatible apps to use it to check pulse. I didn’t care about this but someone might.I would buy this bike again.

Absolutely amazing Schwinn product. I love this recumbent bike and use it nearly every day.

I have a home gym (treadmill, Tonal) and have wanted to add a recumbent bike for a long time. I have neck problems and the upright style bikes put too much strain on it so the recumbent style is ideal. Because the bike was going to be a minor part of my workouts (I only wanted it for days where I wanted a lighter workout) I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I knew it would never become my main exercise equipment. This bike was in the price range I wanted to spend and it had the most features for the money. Plus, the Schwinn brand was a selling point for me. The bike was super easy to assemble and I was able to do it myself in 15-20 minutes. It has basic features you'd expect like preprogrammed workouts. The workouts don't really range much in intensity in my opinion but you can always modify them once you're using them. You can also use manual settings to make your own workout (you can't save it for future use, but I wouldn't expect that option in this price level). The bike isn't very loud (it's not silent either) so you can easily watch tv or listen to music. There is one part on the bike that isn't secured on and I have repeatedly knocked it off. It's a cover that is just under the seat. It is purely for aesthetics, it doesn't serve a function, but it's not secured on in any way, it just fits on the spot but I've knocked it off repeatedly so I'll probably just glue it down. The oddest thing to me is the power cord. It's thinner than even a lamp cord and is more like something you'd use for a small electronic device (two prong plug, not the usual three prong). I mean, it powers the bike so that's all that's needed but it feels flimsy. You wouldn't want to plug it in anywhere that it could be bumped. As far as size, the bike seat distance is fairly adjustable and I'm quite comfortable when sitting (I'm 5'9") and can reach and use the pedals just fine. The bike is very stable. I have it on a fitness mat over carpet in my gym. It stays quite steady while using it. The construction of the bike feels like it would be more unsteady, but it's not. Good bike for the price. Let's be clear, this is NOT Peloton quality by any means but it's a very good bike for the price point.
