Is this an electrical or magnetic bike. If electrical does it work overseas with 230v outlet ?

This is mechanical bike only It don't need any electric outlet comnectionJust you need to add batteries only for display

I do believe it works by a tension cable. I put my own together and do recall that from the steps.But you're not to put it together by yourself (I've had not one problem!)

The controls run on batteries. The resistance adjustment is mechanical, not electrical.

I checked with my hubby who uses the bike and he said it is not electrical.

the pedals rotate under their own power. It is 110v and we live in New York. It works great.

It use 110 ac power only. If you turn ac adapter off the bottom magnet will catch the globe preventing it to fall down. Really amazing...

yes,but w/o electricity you can't control the tension so you wold be better off using a regular bike

This bike does not take a battery. It is kick start only. There are no electrical components that require a battery .

No, it is basically a toggle switch. A magnetic switch will cost much more and generally used with 220v equipment.

110v. I had to purchase a local adaptor for 230v and unfortunately the polarity of the pins was reversed and it burned a zener diode or something in the input power circuit. As a result mine only runs on batteries now. Make sure you get an adaptor with the right polarity in the pin (centre positive I think).

The selection of the 8 different magnetic ECB (Eddy Current Brake) resistance levels...from easier to harder peddling...is done electronically, which DOES require either batteries OR the AC adapter. Without either of those two items, you can sit and spin the peddles, but the ECB is not engaged. At least that's my memory of how the A20 worked before it became a repository for my clothes, towels and other items. ;o)

Electricity it's got 3 12 volt batteries on that bike my son has it and it's going vary fast and he is only 6

Mine was assembled in Mexico and is for 120 volt only. A similar model is available for 240 volts.

I keep mine in my room. China has alot of new battery packs that are very light weight compared to lead. The motor doesn't do so well with the regenerative brake connected and the pedal assist switch isn't that great either. If I could find a 36V 8-12ah battery pack with the charger included, I wouldn't care where it was manufactured, I'd pay an extra $100 and wait a month for delivery. Also, you may want to consider using a bike with disc brakes.

A grounded outlet is recommended, not necessarily a deicated oultet. I could not use this machine as it did not have 230v

The bike is quite heavy, it's about 50+lbs or so. If you live somewhere with lots of steps it's going to be a chore. The bike does come with a regular 3 prong plug. It charges quickly and holds the charge for quite a while.

It is electric; you have to peddle but it does have programs. Would have expected a little better quality from a name like Schwinn.

It puts out 6 volts DC and is either 1 or 1.5 AMPs. The AMPs were just a bit under what the bike said it needs, but it still worked just fine.

I am sure it's only battery, but there is no light in the computer. It's a great bike otherwise but ip would go up a model or two and get the electric with a lighted computer screen. I bought the A20 for my brother, And another one the 240 for myself, and still another one the 250 for my son. They're all great riding just really need the lighted screen. Good luck... Steve.

It is for the US market...120 volts unless you can get the switchable, dual voltage sold in Europe. If it's not advertised,...assume it is 120 volts that is needed for supplying power. The internal low voltage power should be DC, so, you could always get a transformer to step your 220/230 volt source down to 120 volts. I assume you live in an area that has 220/230 volt service at the wall outlets. Good luck, Hugo!
