A great addition to any home gym

As someone who is passionate about fitness, I was excited to test this recumbent bike. My husband helped me put it together, and that was an adventure. It took us about 2 and a half hours to get it up and running. The instructions come in three languages and the booklet and video are helpful. That s...

The resistance changing mechanism didn't work on opening. It was easy to adjust but it should be redesigned.

I had the previous Schwinn model 270, which I used almost every day for 5 years. I simply wore it out. I replaced the bike with your newer 290 and was somewhat disappointed that many of the features of the 270 were not included in the 290. Not a big issue. Simply disappointing.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I use the recumbent bike 3 days a week and will increase usage gradually. I chose this one because I was sedentary. I have it in front of a tv and it motivated me to do more. I am excited now to get in shape.

The bike arrived damaged, it has never worked. I called customer service and was told I needed a new motor and luckily, the equipment was under warranty. I told them the equipment was NEW. The repair parts took several weeks to arrive because Schwinn was undergoing inventory and was unable to ship during their busy weeks. The parts finally arrived and the repair company said they are extremely busy with repairs and would call when they had an opening. It's been 45 days since paying for and receiving the bike. Schwinn has been called many times and they keep giving me the runaround, they are very busy at this time and will get back to me within 10 days.

My unit came defective

Submitted 2 months ago

By Earl

From Tucson, Arizona

Verified Buyer

My unit came defective, I haven't been able to use it. it has been a month and the issue has not yet been resolved. They are ordering parts and a technician for Arizona. I ask them to send the Arizona technician with a new unit and take the defective unit away. my answer was I could send it back like anyone else that wanted to return their unit. I believe that it is unfair to me that I should pay restocking and whatever is by the pound. When I ordered I didn't ask for a defective unit, Yet we are the ones who have be put out with no usage and not a fair replacement... Just not right !!
