Customers like the quality of the bike. They say it's a decent exercise bike at a low cost, has decent programs, and is whisper quiet. Some say the unit is OK, but the service is about as bad as they've ever seen. That said, most are extremely pleased with the first week and say it does everything the exercise bike in the gym does.

Customers like the ease of assembly of the stationary bicycle. They say the construction is fairly straightforward if you have average mechanical skills. The bike was assembled quickly and without any troubles. The parts assemble pretty well, and the connected app was easy to get working. The programs that it has can be made super difficult or super easy, and you can make them super difficult and super easy. The directions are brief and pictures mostly. The bikes is sturdy, easy to move, and connects right up with no issues.

Customers like the sturdiness of the stationary bicycle. They say it's quiet, dependable, and sturdy. The build quality is adequate, and nothing has broken. The bike provides a great amount of resistance to make workouts count, and it'll stay put on the floor.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the stationary bicycle. Some mention that it works well and has many nice program features onboard, while others say that it didn't work.

258 customers mention125 positive133 negative

Customers are mixed about the comfort of the bicycle. Some mention that the seat is very comfortable, large, and adjustable, while others say that it's fairly uncomfortable and not particularly easy to adjust. The seat is not very soft or comfortable, and it feels like a slight breeze. The handlebars are too close to you, making wrists hurt. The lowest resistance is not so smooth, and the handlebar has a small edge that rubs hands.

"I like the comfort of the seat, very portable, and plenty of great features" Read more

"...If the handlebars are too close to you, your wrists hurt--if the handlebars are way forward to lean into the bike, which makes sitting on the seat..." Read more

"...I find the seat to be quite comfortable. I am wearing padded bike shorts, but not even sure they are necessary...." Read more

"...addition to the console, I might say that I found the seat uncomfortable after ten minutes, but that can be fixed with enough padding...." Read more

Mechanically good, but technology features flawed and good luck reaching technical support

Mechanically good, but technology features flawed and good luck reaching technical support
For the physical construction of the bike I would probably rate 4 or 5 stars, but do not buy based on the technology features shown in the video on Amazon.Construction: Fairly straightforward if you have average mechanical skills. Use caution to connect and not damage the fine wires during the two connections. Also, although the holes are predrilled on the console mast where it connects to the mainframe, there is some play, so put the screws in loosely, then center the mast before tightening the hex screws. I was able to get mine almost straight, but also the welded-on plate the console mounts to is also not quite straight on the mast!Once constructed, I like that the bike is light and easy to move. This is in part because of the light flywheel that uses magnetic resistance - starts and runs smoothly. I find the seat to be quite comfortable. I am wearing padded bike shorts, but not even sure they are necessary.Bluetooth connections: Schwinn asks you to download the Schwinn Trainer app to your android or iphone device, but this app is not available in either the Google Play Store or iTunes store! The Schwinn Toolbox app does not support this bike. I did find and download Schwinn Trainer on my Android phone by finding it on another website by searching the web, but that is a bit unsettling. It is working.Chest strap HRM connection: If you like to freely move your hands, but still capture and display heart rate during the workout, you need an HRM. As the manual says, it most be "uncoded" or "not coded". Coded vs uncoded is not a feature that Polar discusses with its models - you have to suss it out via online reviews. The only current HRMs sold by Polar are the H9 and H10, which are great because they can talk to my Garmin Fenix 5 watch and also my treadmill, but *not* the Schwinn 170 because I now appreciated that they are coded (which is better in crowded gym situations). To work with the Schwinn 170, you need to purchase the Polar T31 or T34, which are uncoded, and will not speak ANT+ to Garmin, sigh. But the T34 I bought does connect to the bike. The T31 and T34 are not on the Polar website, so you have to buy them from a different 3rd party vendor.Finally, here are some limitations of the Explore The World App which you can run on Android or Apple. It connects via bluetooth to the Schwinn 170. If you like to use a tablet on the tablet shelf of the bike, you cannot cover the few inches on the left of that shelf, if you use a chest strap HRM, as it can block the bluetooth signal! I tried the app, and felt it was a bit lame: no audio, no feedback from the app to the bike such as if you see a hill. And the app has two modes, if you are pedaling at any speed, the app moves forward - pedal faster or slower and it makes no difference. The video jumps around to different scenes. See the guy in the video with a VR headset "featuring 3D"? Reviews in the Play store says the 3D routes for the VR headset have been removed. I do not see any of the free or pay Explore the World routes marked as 3D. So no 3D VR - I guess you could still use the VR headset to see the 2D image. Stream your favorite TV shows instead! I have not tried the Peloton app.One final tip: If you want to install a couple remote holders for TV remotes, etc. try simply attaching a pair of these to the console mast with a zip tie immediately above the drink holder, so they are roughly level with the top of the drink holder:TotalMount Universal Remote Holders (Quantity 2 - One Remote per Holder) - found on Amazon.Additional comments:When attempting to use one of the preinstalled workouts, I can scroll through categories and select for example "Fun Rides", then select one of the four workouts according to the resistance profile shown hitting OK, then setting time, etc. - AND IT ALWAYS RANDOMLY STARTS A DIFFERENT PROGRAM. Best to just always do the Manual Program I decided.As to support, I called once and was informed of a 45 minute wait - I had to leave, called a second time and was informed of a 75 minute wait but they allowed me to key in my phone number but I received no call. I sent an email with my support issue and the email was not answered. If you have a problem, you may be on your own.
