Product Description
Only Schwinn® can leverage more than 100 years of cycling expertise into better-engineered fitness products, and the Schwinn® 230 Recumbent Bike, with its walk-through design and scores of innovative features, is no exception.Amazon.com Product Description
Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 230 recumbent exercise bike. The 230 boasts many of the high-quality features of the Schwinn 213, but adds several extras, including a nicer, easier-to-read instrument panel with a three-position angle adjustment, a slightly lower pedal height that produces a more comfortable riding position, and an easy step-through frame. And that doesn’t even account for all the essentials, which range from 16 resistance levels to handlebars with an integrated heart rate monitor built into the grip.
The handiest feature, however, is unquestionably the anatomically designed recumbent seat, which not only offers a dual-position lumbar support for added comfort, but also a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider that accommodate a variety of body types and sizes. Other details include six preset programs (calorie goal, BMI measurement, recovery test, results mode,

About Recumbent 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.
The term recumbent literally means “lying down.” Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Seems like the shipping on this item is just problematic. I ordered it on my Prime account. Apparently it doesn’t qualify for two day delivery, rather it gets shipped UPS ground. UPS ground services don’t include a preferred delivery time range. Unlike anything else I order from Amazon, it also requires a signature on delivery(everything else can be left on my covered porch) I would’ve had to take a day off work to be home and able to sign for it. I had to let it be returned to sender. It was a mess and I didn’t get to actually receive the product.

Sorry for the rant. I purchased the new Nordic Track C4 si and it is a very nice machine. Nordic Track although has some of the worst customer service that I have ever experienced. The bike came within a few days of ordering 2/11/2010. Although Nordic Track ships the power pack (power cord) seperately (not sure why). It is now 3/3/2010 and I have talked to Nordic Track customer service atleast ten times and have been sent to every dept. that supposedly handles power packs. Why is it that you buy a $700 machine and it doesn’t come with a power cord??? I have been told buy multiple customer service representatives that the package is shipping or has been shipped but they can’t produce a tracking number. When asked to speak with a supervisor, I have been hung up on or placed on hold forever (50 minutes before I hung up. CAUTION!!!

We haven’t been able to use our new bike because it doesn’t work. After putting the bike together the resistance did not work. I called Nautilus, who said they would send a replacement part and set up a repair call. I received the part in 2 days, however no repair call was made. After a week I called Nautilus, who said the repair order was not set up, another week, a repair guy came and said the wrong part was sent! After having our bike 1 month, we still can’t use it!
A warning – be very careful when you install the cable to the console, it goes into a very tight spot and can be easily damaged. Hopefully we will be riding in another week…

Today is November 25th. I purchased this bike on October 24th. It is not here yet. I have traced item’s delivery. It is sitting about 40 miles from my home. I have contacted Amazon 4 days ago and have had no response from them. They want me to review the product??

I ordered this item for continuing physical therapy for a knee injury. When the shipment arrived, the box was a “disaster”; holes in the box, torn box, taped with clear shipping tape, and screws & assorted hardware taped to the outside of the box. The UPS delivery man commented on the poor condition of the box. Upon opening the box, no styrofoam packing, all parts loosely placed in the box; also a package addressed to a city approximately 20 miles from my location, containing parts for a bifold door, were in the box. The computer for the bicycle was missing, and the main frame was damaged. Clearly this item had been returned to Amazon and had not been checked for accuracy and completeness. I am returning this item, and would hope, if I order anything again in the future, it will be a NEW item not a returned item with missing and/or damaged components. Upon calling Customer Service, the person, I spoke with, was very helpful and assured me they would arrange pick up by UPS at no charge, and my money would be refunded. A replacement for this particular model is not available at this time.
