Does the flywheel freewheel - does the wheel keep turning if you stop moving the pedals? Or are the pedals going to keep spinning?

The flywheel stops with the pedals, it spins with your pedaling of the bike.and stops when you do speed depends on your turning of adjustment of the intensity.

The pedals move the wheel. Pedals stop, wheel stops. Pedals have a foot clasp so when you stop pedeling the wheel stops. I like the machine. Works good. The best I found for the price. Seat a bit narrow (or my backside a bit wide). I use additional padding on the seat.

No, the wheel does not keep going. As you slow down so does the wheel but, very good bike tho.

We have a multi geared bike so I am not sure. I will say that it only spins when we pedal.

Well, the pedals don't move unless you make them. The only time I really need to pedal is sometimes on a steep uphill climb or when the battery pack runs low.

There's a pedal on the left that is supposed to stop the brush when the pedal is depressed. However, on mine, the brush only stays stopped as long as i keep the pedal depressed. As soon as i take my foot off the pedal, the brush resumes turning.

The wheel IS fixed, it does not turn. However, the wheel is removable. The wheel/front part of the frame is built for only a quick release system.

The bike can be pedaled; however, the only resistance is the wheel's inertia. The power moves a magnet close to the wheel to make it more difficult to pedal - kind of like a brake. The power also keeps track of workout time, distance traveled, etc.; and powers the "dinky" cooling fans. The position of the magnet (brake) during exercise time is programmed for each exercise routine, or it can be programmed by the rider. Without power, you miss 90% of the product offering ... but the pedals will turn the wheel thus providing exercise.

I think I know what you are asking. This bike has a flip flop hub. That means that it can be set to a free wheel where you can coast w/o pedaling. If you flip the hub, it becomes a fixed gear. That means that when the back wheel rotates, the pedals rotate. Does that answer you question?

A stationary bike will work if the fly-wheel is exposed and has a good texture to grab the shaft of the dynamo. It's designed for the rubber tire of the bicycle to work sort of like a gear against the textured plastic cap on the end of the shaft making it spin. If you can affix it to the stationary bike so that it is up against the spinning wheel and if the there is enough friction that it doesn't sleep it should work fine.

It spin very smoothly. You can take the whole pedal out or install it with regular tool

It's been some months since I did the fix on my bike so my memory is fogging. If I recall correctly the speed and RPMs are measured by a sensor that detects a magnet as the flywheel spins. If that is in place and hooked up correctly then I'm stumped. I suggest a call to Schwinn. Their customer service is very helpful.

You have to spin it yourself. It's a basic banding wheel. While mine needed a bit of grease, otherwise, it spins very smoothly and very evenly.

Yep, the bike must be in motion with the pedals moving. This is pretty much true of all drailleur systems. Enjoy! I still have mine and though I've had to make small adjustments, it still rides great.

It moves right out of the box. You just spin the flywheel and the front belt moves.

If you have it in the locked position where you can't pedal it should not make a noise. If it is in the unlocked position when you can pedal it will make the clicking noise if you don't pedal. If IOU can't lock the wheel then it is defective. Contact the company for a new wheel.

Yes, it does. It rides really smooth in fixed gear. I haven't tried flipping it to the freewheel yet however it appears very sturdy and spins effortlessly.

It has an electronic control panel, so it must be plugged in to work properly. The control panel sets your exercise routine and tracks your progress. There's also a little fan if you want to feel a (tiny) breeze. As for moving by itself, alas, as with most exercise machine you have to apply human power to its pedals to make the flywheel turn - something about burning calories...

You have to keep pressing down on the pedal to speed it up. Separate spins don't do the trick.
