It seems like the pedals are always spining. Is there any way that i could let the bike roll under hill without moving the pedals?

Well the bike comes in "fixed" mode when shipped. Flip the rear wheel to other side in order to use the "freewheel" side of the hub

flip the wheel to the other side and that should be the free wheel side. make sure that your bike has 2 gears 1 on each side.

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

Nope, save your money and buy a good stationary bike. I wish I had. This thing just sits under one of my end tables because I spend more time moving it back into place than actually pedaling it.

There are levers above the rear wheels. You rotate them so that the rear wheels do not move. These serve as brakes, and you set them manually.

I've tried alternating bikes front/back, etc. and strapping them tightly. It seems impossible to prevent any rubbing so I will also use a towel, etc. in between spots. Good luck!

This is a balance training bike which means it does not have pedals or training wheels. That means the rider must push themselves with their feet to move. A slight decline would help with this and it seems rough terrain would make it difficult to use.

We just recently purchased one and it also ticked. I took it apart and put the wheel on the opposite way. Even though the sticker clearly said the other opposite. It doesn't click, but the pedals won't stop moving. If it's not one thing, it's another.

I have a couple of those hills too. A lot of the hills in my area are in the 45 to 60 degree range. The bike handles them beautifully. Put it in low gear before you get to the hill. Be prepared to pedal. You can do it. I love this bike.

No this is a "spinning" bike and the pedals are directly hooked up to the flywheel. Nice unit for the money.

Yes. When my bike battery/controller *was working* I went back and forth in those modes. I used the throttle action to get up hilly spots, and manual pedal to exercise my legs. You can do both modes without turning the switch on and off - if the controller is not damaged. But that's another story...

The wheels are not locked so you can roll it. But I find it not the most convenience way to maneuver. I hope this help and good luck. I like the bike a lot given the affordable price.

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?

I have heard of this problem before from other buyers. I have not had this problem. I would call Schwinn and ask them.

I use this every day and I never had this issue. I know when I was young and the chain came off you had to move the pedals slowly and work it on that way. I'm thinking that I would also notify seller and see if they can help you. I hope this was helpful.Beth

I use it mt biking and wrapped a rubber strip around the handlebars to fatten it up a bit. It does not move unless I crash. :)

There is a clamp that is further to bottom that probably needs to be tighter than what it already is. The same thing happened to my son. If that does not work try taking it to the nearest bike shop to see if they know what to do.

Doesn't really work for that. The bike hangs too close to the pole to spin the pedals, so you can't really do any drivetrain maintenance.
