I was an owner of the Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike, and like many others had it fail me when the pedals one day lost all tension. That bike was squeaky, the display was problematic, and it had severe longevity issues. And if you would like to hear about the ridiculous "self-repair" that Nautilus/Schwinn warranty forces upon the customer, read the many negative reviews of that bike.This new one was offered to me for free through the Amazon Vine program. Right out of the box, I noticed that the Schwinn 150 is basically the Schwinn 140 rebranded with nearly all the same components save the computer module. Even the mounts for the obsolete bottle holder are still present on the neck, as it has now been incorporated into the computer console. ASSEMBLY: Unfortunately, the very first piece to piece together, the front stabilizer, is defective. The end caps which contain the wheels (necessary to move the unit) do not have screw holes bored in them as...Read more 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Schwinn 150 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) In reviewing this Schwinn 150 exercise bike, I am basically comparing it to a Nautilus U514 exercise bike that we purchased on Amazon just a few months ago.Even though this exercise bike is labeled a Schwinn, the inside of the box had the name Nautilus. I was encouraged by this, but it was short lived, as we learned after assembling and using this exercise bike. The Schwinn 150 Upright Exercise Bike is made for larger bodied persons, and there are some advantages that come with that feature. The seat is larger than most exercise bikes, and that's a real plus when it comes to having a comfortable ride. The bike also has larger pedals, and for me, an average sized woman, this is uncomfortable. My feet literally fall through the stirrups, so I have to wear large shoes to keep them on the pedals when riding this bike. (Yes, the straps are adjustable, but it's cheap plastic strapping that isn't going to hold up after much use). There are some nice...Read more 23 of 26 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Schwinn 150 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) I've had a 120 for about a year and it's held up pretty well so far. After seeing this one up for grabs on the Vine program I jumped at the chance to try the next model up.Schwinn still hasn't figured out how to pack these things so they don't destroy their own boxes in transit, but luckily, all the parts were present and accounted for this time despite the fact that the box looked like it'd fallen off a train. Assembly was generally more straightforward than it was with the 120, but the very first step--affixing the end caps to the front stabilizer--involves pressing some tiny, sharp screws down into a metal tube that wants to roll in order to penetrate the plastic. If you don't want to spend the night holding a bandaged hand over your head, wear gloves or pre-drill through the plastic. There's really no excuse for this. Getting the console on was the only other thing I had any trouble with. It's really not that difficult of a process, but the...Read more |
