Phenomenal bike. I have used around 15 different recumbent bicycles and this is by far the smoothest and most quiet I have tried. I am an avid athlete and find the levels very challenging so I get a great workout. The fan is huge as I am in hot weather. Thanks for building such a great bike.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Mostly Pros with Two Cons

I had double complete knee replacement surgery and pedal about 15 miles every day to help with recovery and agility. The cons I mentioned are detrimental and wish Schwinn would consider a reading shelf that could be attached at various levels for height of users and eyesight varyiances. When I pedal at night I have to have the overhead light on, which reflects the light on my tablet, making an uncomfortable glare. If I turn off the light I can't see my progress because there is no backlight on the screen. This is a big deal to me. I like the fan and speakers, but would trade them for backlighting!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Use, Quiet
Cons: No backlight for display, Reading shelf is too high for bifocal wearers
I would recommend this to a friend!
