Manufacturer's Warranty
Frame - three years; Parts - six months About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

 Good, solid entry-level exercise bike November 4, 2009
Rossi (Bay Area, CA)
The product meets expectations and easy to put together. I can hop on the bike if I need a workout going outside of my home what is a plus especially in winter time. The seat is not comfortable though and worth upgrade to the recommended Schwinn unit. Bike is being powered by 4 C-size batteries which lasted for a week or so. So I bought a AC/DC 6V adapter in RadioShack and wired the bike.
Great exercise bike November 1, 2009
Lady Monie (Pittsburgh PA)
I get a great workout on this bike. I am glad that I ignored the negative reviews and went ahead with my purchase. I am in my late 20s and I got this bike to keep fit,keep in shape and as a new wife, keep my figure. I am seeing changes in my legs and stamina as well as in my mid section. The only other exercise equipment I have added to my routine is my husbands dumbbells, and I am satisfied with the results. I definitely recommend this bike to anybody who wants to exercise to stay fit or stay in shape.
The bike was easy to assemble..took my husband about 20 mins.
 love this bike! October 31, 2009

I'm a runner, but a pinched nerve in my neck had me unable to run for awhile. So, in order to stay active I decided to purchase a stationary bike. I've never owned a stationary bike and after reading previous reviews I decided upon purchasing this one.
And I couldn't be happier!!
Excellent price and free shipping were an added bonus.
The seat comfort is pretty decent for me, though I did read that others purchased a different seat. I usually ride for about an hour a day and it's perfect in that time frame. Though, maybe if you ride longer than that, buy a different seat.
-There are six programs or you can select the manual program.
-The bike is pretty lightweight and easily movable, as it has front wheels.
-It is very quiet.
-Within the six different programs one can still adjust the level of difficulty, which is a good thing if you want to climb steeper hills.
-The one minor detail that I would like to see added to the control panel is a way one can enter their weight so as to get a more accurate reading of calories burned. (though, there are fitness websites out there where you can retrieve that information.)
I ride the bike 4-5 times per week and never get bored or tired of it. It really is an excellent bike.
Great Value - Needs Simple Fix October 27, 2009

This bike is an excellent value. I particularly like the electronic tension adjustment. Delivery was quick and assembly was easy using only the tools provided. One problem: Other reviewers who mentioned the loose handlebar were right. I found that vibration from normal use loosens the two screws, and the bar flops down. The solution is simple: Place a lock-washer under each screw-head. The lock-washers apply tension to the screws and keeps them from vibrating loose. For good measure I also applied liquid threadlocker to the screws before reassembly. I've had no problems since. I'm surprised that Schwinn did not supply lock-washers, especially since they are provided for the frame assembly.
Great bike, good price, not so good seat October 27, 2009

I'll get right to the key points. The bike is very sturdy, whisper quiet, was easy to put together, has pretty smooth rotation, and is very easy to move around. The downside....the seat is unbearably hard. Sure the seat feels soft when you put your hand on it, but don't let that fool you. It's almost like the seat was made for church. Of course this is easily remedied by buying an alternate seat. Other than that this is a great bike to pick up.
