Schwinn 231 Recumbent Exercise Bike Review


Having read the many reviews I was concerned about ordering this item from Amazon. Would it take forever to ship? Would come in a damaged box? Would parts be missing or malfunctioning? Would putting it together be a nightmare? Would I have buyers remorse?

THE ANSWER to all of the above is NO! I placed my order on the Friday and it was shipped on the same day. The delivery people called my house on the following Monday for delivery on Tuesday. It was so fast I had to delay the delivery myself until Thursday!

Box in good condition. Everything accounted for and in working order. Took me 2.5 hours to assemble with relative ease. All tools provided.
Plugged it in and it worked. First workout this morning was great.

Pros = Super quiet. Very stable. Book rack is functional.

Neutral = Fan seems useless at first, but it does create a faint breeze that I find I am actually using. While I do not notice the "funky smell" that some have complained about, my wife's sensitive nose has picked up on the distinct order put out by the bike.

Cons = No way to keep track of total miles biked. Having to use a power source and dependent on computer technology will make the life span more limited due to possible power surges and computer malfunction, but that is required in our day and age.

Amazon provided a great price, great shipping, and access to a great product. Hopefully the life cycle of the bike will be as pleasant and positive as the initial experience!Get more detail about Schwinn 231 Recumbent Exercise Bike.
