I spent several weeks and hours reading about and looking at various models of recumbent exercise bikes. My wife and I are in our mid 60s and want to avoid high impact stuff. I couldn't find a Schwinn 240 in stores on display so I took a chance and ordered it. It took a couple hours to assemble and it wasn't difficult at all. The bike is smooth and fits both me at 6' 4" and my wife who is 5' 2". The only annoying part of using the bike is having to reset the seat each time either of us use it, which is a bit of a nuisance. Seems like they could made it a little quicker to use without having to remove the threaded knob bolt and adjust the seat to the setting you want, then re-insert the bolt and hand tighten it.
Oh yes... it's heavy. It has rollers to help you move it, but don't think you can just whisk this bike from room to room each day! And it's sturdy and quiet. I paid $470 including freight and tax. Sears wanted $599! No wonder they have poor sales records! I did have a bit of trouble programming the computer panel. It takes a few minutes. I had to call customer service. They kept me on hold for at least 20 minutes(seriously) before I got a guy to walk me through it. I was not impressed with his attitude. While he was helpful, he was in a huge hurry and suggested I read the manual again, which he reminded me was all he was doing over the phone. So I wouldn't count on superior customer service from this Company, which is Nautilus. They bought out Nordic Track and Schwinn and they have a self-important attitude, like other corporations with multiple product lines. They want to sell it, but they don't believe they have to devote adequate service time after the sale.
I have only had the bike for 3 weeks. I like it, just not the Company.Buy Schwinn 240 Lowest Price, Order Now! [Click Here!]
