Buying Schwinn 240 Recumbent Exercise Bike

Over All Rating Reviews :

This is an initial review based on the first week of ownership.

ABF (the shipper) contacted us and asked when we would like it delivered. It came when they said. I live on a farm lane and the driver could not get to my house due to the snow. No problem I am use to that. I drove my ATV to the truck, we loaded it into my trailer. He rode on my ATV with me to my house and we unloaded it in the room I wanted it. Excellent. The box was in great shape, solid.

My 14 year old son put it together in about 1 hour, then I reviewed his work as we spent another 30 minutes going over the nuts and bolts checking for tightness. He had the front cross leg on backward so it wouldn't roll when we picked up the back, no biggie, we reversed it. It was easy for him to assemble.

Initial rides on it are favorable, make sure you tighten the seat fully after each adjustment. Don't sit on it when moving the seat. So far the seat is the weak point. We'll see how it holds up. You have to understand the programming to get the best use of it. I have had other equipment where you had pre-programmed courses to ride on.

There is no on/off button. Just walk away from it and it will shut off. I had to read that somewhere.

The drink holder is mickey mouse and probably won't be used. I don't think the basket will be used either.

I have read reviews on older models along the same line as the 240 and people complained about the packaging, shipper, assembly was too hard, instructions were poor. I had no issues with any of these, perhaps I got lucky.

We received the bike quickly from Amazon. It was a bit tricky to assemble, in part because some of the assembly in the instructions was already complete. But I was able to unpack and assemble it on my own. Really only one tricky part by yourself and that is connecting the wiring connectors. Once assembled it worked flawlessly. As others have said it is extremely quiet. It is fairly easy to program and it has memory for two people plus a guest setting to support other users. The manual is a bit weak, but operation isn't so complicated that you can't figure out the missing details on your own. It has a good range of predefined rides, plus each user can define one custom ride, and a more than adequate range of settings from really easy to very difficult. Overall this is a great deal at the price we paid at Amazon, quick shipping, very quiet and versatile. Easy to move around with built in wheels and a handle. This is the perfect device for us. We have only had it about six weeks but so far it has served us flawlessly.
