Actual Customer Feedback
I purchased my Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike about one month ago and I love it! I have a
herniated L4/L5 disc, in my lower back. Running had been my exercise of choice for many years, but I
couldn't do it anymore. My weight got up to 250 lbs, so I had to do something. I tried walking,
NordicTrak, and an upright bike, but all irritated my low back. I tested different recumbent bikes, but
the seating design (most have the rider seated in a 90 degree position) irritated my back. The seat on
the Schwinn 230 has lumbar and side supports built into it and, when seated, the rider is in seated in
a more comfortable, reclined position. My back has been doing fine.
Quotation from Schwinn 230 review on Amazon.com
I had researched the reliability etc and this bike is the same as the 213 which was recommended by
consumer report. It's more user friendly because of the 'walk through' design. I've had it for several
weeks and it provides all that I expected though I was surprised at how quiet it is to run. I'm in the
145 lb weight category and I'm not using it so much to lose weight, rather to just get exercise as much
as possible. I've had orthoscopic surgery in both knees and find that I can't walk more than half a
mile without feeling discomfort in or around the knee area. My intention is to strengthen the leg
muscles as much as I can using the bike. In the $500. price category I would certainly recommend the
Schwinn 230
Another Schwinn 230 recumbent bike review at Eopinions.com
We have the bike in my Physical Therapy outpatient clinic. The patients find it easy to get on and off,
ride and understand the directions/programs. The only thing that is a problem is that many patients
find it difficult to adjust the seat without assistance. I've already ordered 2 others for family and
patients.

The company should add back-lit on the console display so that it can be read in the dark. You
need to reach under the seat and adjust a stiff bolt with a spring and a large plastic handle if you want to change
the distance from the pedals. The Schwinn recumbent 230 can only support up to 300 lbs.
