Recumbent exercise bikes are becoming increasingly popular in recent times. Often, the need for a recumbent bike is a necessity, as they offer an increased level of lower back support and are less strenuous for users, while still offering challenging workouts and thorough cardio exercises.

Enter the Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike. The Schwinn 230 is Schwinn’s affordable recumbent that still comes with superb functionality, adjustability and reliability for all users.

Offering an easy to use over-sized display console, 20 resistance levels and 22 different workout programs, there’s enough here to keep even the keenest of cyclists happy.

Features of the Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike:

  • 95 pounds
  • 66.5 x 27 x 12.5 inches
  • Dual LCD display system
  • 22 workout programs and 2 user settings
  • 20 resistance levels
  • USB charging port

Is the Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike Worth Buying?

When the Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike first arrives, it can be somewhat overwhelming.

The bike is shipped as assembled as possible, meaning that the delivery box is enormous.

However, when opened up, it’s easy to see why. Much of the frame is pre-assembled, making the rest of the assembly much easier than it could be. The pieces are extremely well made and fit together seamlessly.

Although there are a couple of sections where a second person is helpful, the bike could feasibly be assembled by one person in a couple of hours. When made, the bottom wheels allow the bike to be moved easily. As recumbent exercise bikes go, that’s pretty impressive.

The functionality of the Schwinn 230 also stands out. The seat is easily adjusted to accommodate most sizes, and the bike itself offers a wide selection of workouts to choose from.

Alternatively, users can just cycle at a selected resistance levels and track their progress. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, and the highest resistance levels are enough to challenge even accomplished, experienced cyclists. Noticeably, the bike is also whisper quiet, even at these higher levels. This smooth and quiet operation all reinforces the fact that the Schwinn 230 is extremely well made.

Are there any drawbacks?

Yes, some, but only if you really look for them.

The bike tracks users performance by a number of metrics, including heart rate, calories burned etc. according to the user information stored initially. However, only two user settings can be stored.

This could be frustrating for a family of 3 or more who all plan on using the bike. It would also be nice if the brightness levels on the control display could be adjusted manually for different lighting conditions.

However, these are minor gripes. More expensive models offer greater functionality; if you want more features, you have to pay for them. If you are simply interested in a well-made, comfortable and reliable recumbent exercise bike, then the Schwinn 230 is just about perfect.
