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, quick start, and manual mode), 10 profile courses, and transport wheels that both protect your floors and make the bike easy to store. 
Track your time, interval time, RPM, watts, distance, pulse, speed, calories, and resistance on the 230's LCD console. | Specifications: - 16 resistance levels

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.

 A great vailue November 22, 2008
My first use of a recumbent exercise bike was in a hotel. It was a Nautilus and I was so impressed I thought I would buy one for home. However, when I started to research the Nautilus bikes I just couldn't justify the $1000+ price. Finally I broke down and purchased the Schwinn 230 as it seemed to offer enough of what I was looking for and at a great price.
When I received the bike (faster then expected) I was amazed at how simple assembly was. All tools were provided and the instructions were simple. The bike is stable and quiet and joy to use.
The biggest surprise in all off this? The Schwinn 230 is made by Nautilus!
 Schwinn Recumbant November 18, 2008
Overall this is a great bike. It is smooth, comfortable, and has many different degrees of difficulty which match differences between my wife and I. Also, the programs that come with the bike are varied and fun to use. The pulse moniter works great and is easy, just hang onto the grip. My only complaints are minor. One, it takes well over an hour to assemble. Two the screen is mounted high which makes it difficult to watch TV while riding. I have to look to one side to view the TV aroung the monitor.
LOVE THE BIKE, HATE THE SQUEAKS ! November 18, 2008
ORDERED THIS BIKE TO REPLACE AN OLDER RECUMBENT EXERCISE BIKE THAT I HAD. AMAZON HAD THE BEST PRICE AND THE FREE SHIPPING WAS A HUGE FACTOR. MY NEPHEW PUT IT TOGETHER FOR ME - IT TOOK HIM ABOUT 1 HOUR. IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE, I LOVE THE PROGRAMS ON IT AND ALL OF THE FEATURES, BUT TWO THINGS I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT:
1) IF I RIDE OVER 9 MPH IT SQUEAKS SOMEWHERE AROUND THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND IT'S VERY ANNOYING
2) THE SCREEN WITH THE PROGRAMS, READ OUT, ETC WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO SEE IF IT WAS LIT UP.
very pleased November 16, 2008
I am very happy with my Schwinn 230. The price was somewhat comparable to the stores, however, the free delivery was a plus and without tax. The delivery company called prior to delivery to assure I was here to accept it, (a good thing)and all was well with the box and the machine. I love every thing about it! A great deal for the money! I assure you I will not use it for a coat rack. The assembly wasn't so bad, about an hour, except be watchful how you put it together because you have to take it apart again to add things. I love Amazon, they have it all, and are so accomodating!
recumbent bike November 8, 2008
This is a great bike for me. Therapist told me that I needed a recumbent. Very easy to put together - did it myself in a little over an hour 9fifty eight year old female). Important to read instructions - especially the wiring that goes through the front post. Very comfortable and easy to use the programs.
