Buying Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike

Over All Rating Reviews :

I spent several days researching exercise bikes and decided the Schwinn 140 was the one!!! After it arrived, I spent about 1/2 hour setting it up, and adjusting it. And, it arrived undamaged and was well-packed from the factory. The setup was easy and a no-brainer with good instructions. If yours does not arrive with instructions, it can be downloaded from the Schwinn website instead of crying about it on the internet!!!! Most manufacturers do this!
If one has to advise not to buy this product because of the lack of setup instructions, just ask an 8 year old to set it up for you!!! It is that easy. He can show you how to operate it also!!! Even download instructions for you. If one is too lazy to download instruction, an exercise bike won't be much help getting you motivated to get in shape!
I have spent about 3 weeks using the 140 and it is paying off so far as getting my body back into much better shape, fast. Everything works very smoothly, quietly and actually very impressive. The nice display is about the best on the market for this price range. Very easy to operate. This machine is very sturdy and well-built. I could find no fault with it at anytime I was working out with it. A great substitute for my mountain bike.

I looked at the Schwinn 240 recumbant also, but I wanted one to better simulate a bicycle.

A great buy from Schwinn, again!!!

Cheapest Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike

I want to point out that the description of this bike says, "both telemetry and contact heart rate monitoring." The product description talks about using a chest strap for your heart rate but no chest strap is included with your purchase. I find that to be a little deceptive.

If you wish to take advantage of the chest strap you must buy a polar compatible chest strap for around $40 in addition to paying extra for the bike compared to the model 130.

The seat has come loose and required re-tightening and the straps on the pedals hit the ground if you have them in the smallest position.

Riding the bike is very smooth but the display has to be at the right angle or you can't read it. I am 5' 11" and I have the seat in hole 3, and the display as flat as it can go to be able to read it.

The water bottle holder is nice but for the price they should throw in a water bottle too.

The leveling legs on the back stabilizer are a good feature. Despite what others have said, I found the assembly instructions pretty clear and easy to follow. Pay attention to the details and you shouldn't have a problem.

In summary it appears to be a nice exercise bike but I'm not sure that the features you get with the Model 140 justify the large price increase over the Model 130.
