Did anyone ever figure out why the resistance and computer resets? I cannot get the resistance up at all.

I was still trying to decide what to do, and whether or not to call customer service and order a new computer (based on what people were saying online) when I thought, "let me check the batteries first." Sure enough, they were very low voltage - enough to run the LCD display, but not enough to change resistance apparently. I put new batteries in and the problem has gone away. Try that first, before calling customer service or ordering a new computer.

I'm having the same issue now after about 11 months of having the bike. Any help would be great!

Had the Schwinn Active 20 for about a year and now the display flashes and the number 78 flashes under the speed section. Replaced the batteries but NG -- On with Nautilaus Customer support now.Okay -- they tell me it's the computer so I need to spend $70 to replace it. Will let you know if it does the trick.

I have the same problem. I noticed that it's not actually resetting based on how long I ride, but it resets whenever I try to change the resistance. So, if I manually push the button to increase the resistance it resets immediately, if I use program mode it resets whenever it reaches the first jump in resistance, and if I ride in manual mode with no increase in resistance it never resets.

Hi Jessica. I had a minor problem with mine and returned it to the current manufacturer, Saris Cycling group. They were very helpful and prompt in resolving the problem. The contact info is at this link: http://www.sariscyclinggroup.com/contact-us/ .

Mine died 16 months in, a month of repairs and nothing would fix it. It is in the shop now and we should be getting a new one on Samsung's tab. Definitely will go with LCD next time.

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.

If I were you I'd call Schwinn and ask them. I guess you didn't see my review where I gave them a one-star rating because the electronics in my bike just up and quit after about 40 hours of use. I threw my bike away.

Hi Tkh,I had the same problem as well. I got 3 black lines across the screen. I wonder how long does it take for them to replaced the lcd screen. At the same day? Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your problem. My suggestion is to contact Schwinn manufacturer. Probably an easy fix.

any one have this problem?:when it's switching resistance levels either up or down, there's a full second or so where is loses load or resistance, very perceptibly.I have a model that was bought new and arrived about Nov 9th of 2010 (made in china as they probably all are?).thanks in advance.

good afternoon, thanks for asking I live in Venezuela lcd, get me a month ago by the inconveniences in the country, but I have two weeks of having the screen installed in the cell and the lcd is presenting as red lines that cross images and also if I have a long time with continuous use the lcd starts to lose color. I can do in that case? thank you

Since mine doesn't work any longer, I can't check it, but I would not recommend it. I know it doesn't have a stop watch feature as I remember that really annoying me. Get an inexpensive one from Performance Bicycles (Performance brand). I got this one...cheap, comfortable, and works great. http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1115834_-1_400131__400131

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.

My bike is doing the same thing. I even followed the steps in the troubleshooting guide to try to fix the problem. I suppose the next step is to contact the manufacturer.

I have never encountered this problem, however a few times I had rub the positive end on my shirt sleeve and then the display appeared. My units do not have a reset button

did not experience this problem with this bike. Good bike, well worth the price. It is worth taking to a bike shop and have them put everything in good working order. Shop tuned up brakes, gears and tightened wheel spokes.

The left pedal doesn't fit. I tried to use it yesterday and eventually it fell off. We haven't reached the point where the display even matters. I can't get the bike to work. We didn't set it up until it was out of the 3-month warranty period (3 kids, busy lives). Then we tried in vain to deal with customer service. Expect to wait one hour before you speak to anyone, I got hung up on various times only to be told, sorry, you are out of the warranty period. It's a joke, they don't care. They have Amazon to pedal their junk and are doing well enough to give the middle finger to customers who complain. I would never buy exercise equipment from anything but a large trusted chain ever again. The left pedal doesn't fit. I tried to use it yesterday and eventually it fell off.

This recumbent bike will not hold up in a public gym. It is simply a basic starter bike for limited home use. I've had nothing but continuous problems with the pedal arm slipping while in exercise mode, and I don't mean while it changes from one resistance level to another.

Every time I'd turn the screen on it would be perfect, then after about 5 seconds the entire screen would become a dead pixel. The PCB going bad is apparently a common issue with these monitors. I told the seller about the issue and they paid to have it shipped back to them, no hassle. Got another one and it's perfect, no dead pixels.
