I almost didn't buy this bike because I couldn't find any reviews on it, and they didn't have this model in my local store. I decided to take a chance anyway, and I'm glad I did. It feels a lot sturdier than the bikes I tried in stores. It was easy to assemble and didn't take but about an hour. The seat...

I purchased this bike so I could work out at home and so far it has turned out to be a great bike. Feels sturdy and does not take up a lot of room. Getting a good cardio workout while I watch TV. I am very happy with the purchase and feel confident about the product. I would recommend this product if...

Schwinn SR23 Recumbent Bike Reviews
Displaying reviews 1 - 14 of 60 in total
We bought this bike about a month ago and have loved it. We were looking for exercise equipment that would be durable for my husband who is almost 300 lbs. and easy on his knees. It seems to be great for both. I also like the many different workouts and levels. It is keeping us interested which is essential to helping us establish a workout schedule. I have never had a machine that is so quiet! There is a slight squeak in the seat as it has said in other reviews, but it is barely noticeable. I am so excited to have this bike and would highly recommend it.
Bought this bike about a month ago. Was everything that I'd read in prior reviews. I had been looking for a used recumbent bike but after reading reviews on different ones I decided not to go that route. This bike is very quiet, almost no sound at all, the different programs that you can choose make it interesting. It took about an hour to assemble with the tools that were supplied. We ordered it and received it at our local Sears store one week later.
I bought the bike early October 2009 for 2 reasons.
- Hurt my knees from running and tai'chi-ing
- Did extensive research and decided on the SR23 based on price (<500) and ratings.
Bottomline: A very practical and usable bike without tons bells and whistles. Very much enjoys it. Put a small table besides it (see notes below)
Things I like
- Noise: Very quiet. You can say it is absolutely quiet compared to my treadmill, which is a pretty good one. The back can squeak if you don't tighten it up. But the noise is understandable and doesn't bother me much.
- Display: Backlit display is large, clear and easily...
This bike was easy to put together in about an hour. It has nice features and is very easy to operate. The entire family is able to ride it and benefit from the exercise it provides from the comfort of home. It is a great value and quality product.
I was going to have a total knee replacement and wanted something to assist with the recovery. It has now been 12 weeks since I had surgery. The doctor released me to return to work after 6 weeks. Normally it takes 12 weeks. It took about an hour to put together and would be helpful to have someone around to assist. I have found after a month go back and tightend all the nuts as they work loose. I use the bike every day and sometimes twice a day.
I bought this bike and had it delivered from Sears in a huge box which was undamaged to my upper level condo where I assembled it without difficulty. Actually it was fun putting it together myself. I had no missing pieces at all. The nuts and bolts were easily located and identified. The instructions were clear. Once it was assembled and placed on the equipment mat to protect the carpet, I tried it out and it worked flawlessly! It is virtually noiseless and very steady when in use. I had no squeaks from the seat at all. It provides an excellent aerobic workout. I love the way the resistance smoothly...

My old bike broke after many years. And I have bad knees related to military service. I worked as a Rehab Nurse for 11 years and we had these bikes in the patients gym. Most had knee or hip replacements. So I thought I would give this style a try. Love it! Easy to put together, easy to use, comfortable and very quiet. I would recommend this bike to anyone. I ordered it online, and it was already in stock at my local store. Pick-up took 5 minutes. Now my workout is back on track.
We bought this bike and had it delivered to the store. After we picked it up and put it together, we discovered the back handle part of the bike was extremely bent, it is welded together, so it could not be replaced so we had to package the bike up and waited for a new one to be delivered. After the new one was put together, we discovered the same problem though not as severe and have decided it is due to poor packing.
As far as the bike performance, we love this bike. It is quiet and I can sit and watch my favorite show (AND HEAR THE SHOW WITHOUT BLARING THE SOUND) while I sit on the bike and...

My husband and I decided on this recumbent schwinn because of all the great reviews we read. It is just as described. Very good instructions and easy to put together. Took about 11/2 hours. All parts were easy to find. Up and running in no time. The machine is so quiet, and smooth. and the seat is very easy to adjust. my husband is 6'3 and I am 5'1. The readout is easy to see because of the backlight. Has many features those expensive machines have. Got it for $100.00 off. What a deal! You won't go wrong with this one.
I purchased this bike after reading all the reviews. I love the bike. It works as smooth as one could work. I have ridden it for 30 minutes a day for the last 30 days. Works great. But the review were right about one thing. It has a squeaking seat that will get on your nerves after a while. Except for that it is a great bike. The squeak is the only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5.
My wife and I decided to purchase this bike after extensive reviews. We're both in pretty good shape, but decided we needed to be heart healthy in addition to the toning this bike would bring with consistent use. It's not as cheap as some, but much less expensive than many others. The quality is gym-grade...very solid. Great materials...nothing cheap about it. We set up in our living room in view of the tv. It is whisper quiet and we can watch tv without turning the volume up to abnormal levels....no squeaking so far from any of the components. The workouts are great and you will feel it in your...

We decided to buy a bike for more than one reason. The main reason for me is that I need knee replacement in both knees. I am not ready mentally for that yet so thought this bike may help since the Dr. said it would. We have a treadmill but that causes too much pain and the Dr. said not to use it. We also have a glider(do not use that either)I asked my husband to decide on one that he thought was good. He looked at several and we both read the reviews on the SR23. He thought this one would be good and since after reading the reviews so many said they use it for arthritis, I agreed with it. Sear's...

I purchased this machine after reconstructive knee surgery because my doctor recommended a recumbent bike. It has worked perfectly and thanks in part to this machine I don't have to go to rehab! It is very solid while riding with no strange noises. I ride three times a week for 30 minute sessions and I am very pleased. The assembly went well and was completed in 75 minutes with no missing parts since everything was vacuum sealed in little cardboard trays. I would tell anyone looking for a simlar machine to buy this model.
I've had six surgeries on my left foot and have gone three years with no activity. I felt I needed an exercise bike to get the exercise that I need without putting a lot of pressure on my foot.
This bike is terrific, It was easy to put together, it took me about 90 minutes. It was a little too heavy for me to lift out of the box, and carry it anywhere, but I did manage to get it out and then attach the wheels so I could easily wheel it to the room I was going put it together and use it in.
The bike is very quiet, very sturdy, and I am able to watch tv as I work out. The programs are wonderful...
