Schwinn 203 vs Schwinn 202 Recumbent Exercise Bike: Would someone know what are the extras in Schwinn 203?

I was just looking up the exact same thing. If you pull up the 202 from Sears.com and the 203 here on Amazon, you'll see that, first of all, the 202 is exclusively at Sears, and secondly, it appears to have half the programs.

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure why but they sent me a PowerTig 200dx. It did come with a foot pedal and a stick holder. Also has pulse function, arc strength, pre/post flow adjustment and downslope timer. Glad to receive the unexpected upgrade.

There is an Exerpuetic 990, which is also a treadmill. I'm trying to figure out the difference between the 990 and the 2000 myself. The pictures of both models look the same and the prices of both are anywhere from the same to $150 more for the 2000, so I'm not sure if there is a legit difference or not.

There is no comparison. I imagine you know that a recumbent bike allows for more lateral movement along with using arms. This mini cycle offers basic circular movement which may be difficult for some. However, for my elderly relative (both knees replaced), this is a sturdy, convenient and helpful gadget. I think it works well as a supplement to other exercise.

I would recommend it but must tell you that when I was in Sam's club last week the had a schwinn adult trike with 3 sppeds that looked to be much better quality and if I had my choice of it or mine I would choose the Schwinn. The only thing that really bothers me is not being able to use the rear fenders. Because of that, if the roads are wet , it kicks water up on you. Other than that, it's great

Thanks A. Myles.I took your suggestion and ordered one for myself. The whole thing costs only $3.27 (plus $5.16 shipping+tax). Its a shame why Shwinn wont ship it with the product itself.

Honestly, 5 1/2 years later, I don't remember how I assembled it. Apparently, I must have had something, an instruction book or exploded diagram, to help me out. I still have it and, besides some wear and tear, it still works OK. I have gotten into a rut by doing the same basic exercises as demonstrated on the included DVD, and I know that there are many variations to keep things interesting (such as the image of the lady exercising to the left - I've never done that exercise). As I think about it, perhaps the DVD had assembly instructions with it. I think I used my basic tools - nothing elaborate, just an adjustable wrench or two and a screw driver - I think. Play the DVD to see about the assembly instructions. I'm sorry I'm not of more help to you. I received the 1700 Club and went through my wheel experience in the Spring of '08, so it's been awhile. Once you get it assembled, I think you'll like it. As with any exercise equipment, you'll get out of it what you put into it. Good luck with it!

I wondeered the same. But if you look at the frame of the console, you will see a less-than-1/2inch lip at the bottom. That's the book rack - pretty sorry but with the quality of the Schwinn 240 recumbient bike, I'll live through it without complaining. PARTICULARLY in the fact that if you search Amazon for "book rack for exercise bike" you will see several that are made of clear plastic in different sizes (8.5x9.5 and 11x11 for example). They have a lip that fits over the top of your console and a nice large shelf at the bottom that holds almost any book, especially my Kindle. And the beauty of them is that you can read your console easily through them with just a slight lift of your book. Mine is great and I don't miss some big bulky built-in one at all. And they are only about $11 to $13. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

the Schwinn Pillow Top Seat has the standard bike rail setup underneath the seat. I've ( used ) attached it to three different bikes without a problem, ie; cruiser,mountain mtb, bmx bike. If your exercise bike has a standard modern bike seat the swap should work with minimal problems. All of my bike seat swaps with the Schwinn Pillow Top did not require any extra hardware. Currently using a electra brand seat that is even bigger and larger ( comfort ) than Schwinn Pillow Top on my cruiser. ( same setup )goodluck

My advice is.....don`t bother with this bike. It`s very poor quality and the seat absolutely SUCKS!!! I could only stay on for 10 minutes, due to the seat. I can not say enough about how poor the design is. Schwinn should be ashamed. Buy the Schwinn Airdyne bike that is all steel. 100 % better quality. I`ve had one for over 10 years. The seat is much more comfortable and it still works great. It`s the one that weighs 98 lbs.

You can look for a stock replacement from schwinn,just make sure you know the tube size,and if you buy from another company just make sure the tube size is the same.

Yes -- the 231 was, sadly, discontinued. I emailed Schwinn, because the 231 was highly rated in Consumer Reports, and seemed to have better features than even the 240, but a Schwinn rep emailed me back and said the 240 is the replacement model to the 231. Blech! The 240 does seem to be superior to the 230, though, so I'll have to settle for that. I ordered the 240 today....it does get very good reviews overall. Good luck!

The bike I use and recommend is the SUNLITE EXERCISER SUNLT F5 TRAINER. I'm 6' 170 and there is still plenty of adjustments settings if needed.
