Schwinn 250 Recumbent Exercise Bike Reviews
| 71 of 72 people found the following review helpful  Great Exercise Machine (Excellent combination with kindle fire), By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Schwinn 250 Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports) Easy to setup and use. Very sturdy piece of equipment. Gives one a good workout. Comfortable and useful like some of the thousand dollar bikes. Slightly better than Schwinn 240 with additional programs and bigger console to rest your reading materials or Kindle/ipad etc. I was originally looking to buy Schwinn 240 but since 240 was getting discontinued decided to buy Schwinn 250 to make full use of warranty and service. I could not find a better price for this in local stores, Amazon had it delivered in three days with free shipping and no tax.UPDATE Jan 20th, 2012 - I have been using this for a while now and it is awsome machine. I also use kindle fire while using it and this seems to be an excellent combo if you want to loose weight. I read books, magzines, watch movies, listen to music, check email and surf web and time flies by. I only intend to use this bike for 30 minutes but while using kindle fire I seldom finish in less than an hour. I am able to see difference in...

By trial and error I eliminated every type of exercise that increased the pain. While I am not exactly "in love" with exercise, it has always kept my weight under control. And,I discovered without a regular form of exercise I didn't feel as well as I had, and I started to gain weight. In desperation, I tried my friends Schwinn 240. Using a recumbent bike, didn't hurt my back. It had many good qualities, but the seat wasn't quite as comfortable as I would have liked. I came to Amazon to order the 240, and was excited when I read there was a new bike, the Schwinn Recumbent model 250. I immediately ordered it. I was pleased when Amazon notified me that I could expect the bike between November 25, and December 13, 2011. The bike was delivered at 9:30 a.m. November 25, 2011. The box was in good condition & the bike parts appeared perfect.My husband immediately began assembly. It took about 3 1/2...

All the parts are beefy. The MP3 port is really not what it is ad. as. All it is a 2 speaker port. No amp or vol adj. I have to have my MP3 turned all the way up to hear it. But the bike is extremely quiet. The only thing that you hear is when it changes the resistance levels and that is a very quiet motor sound. The display large and easy to read. If you have the display tilted all the way forward it gets in the way of the handle bars that are up front. You will not be able to put this in front of you tv and be able to see it since the display is right there. The fan is kind of a joke. It moves very little air even on high. But i guess that something is better than nothing.The assembly went smoothly took a little over an hour but I did it by myself. The bike is heavy so you may need a helper when unboxing\assy. The seat adjustment knob have to be lossened all the way before the seat will slide. I would have changed this with something that is a... Read more |
