We have had the bike less than a year. The wheel slips often. Does anyone know how to tighten the wheel? Thks.

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.

Mine is doing the same thing, I bought it last year, less than 8 months after I bought it, starts slipping when I gear up. Now it won't gear up at all. I did send this to OEM repair before New year, no respond. Please let me know if you know how to fix it since I don't believe I can count on the warranty.

The rubber on the wheels should be secured properly with glue. What I did was to replace the rubber with the inner tube of bicycle tyres cut to fit and glue on with super glue. Hope that will solve your problem.

If you are having this issue, go to Walmart or an auto parts store and buy a small tube of lock tight. This will stop that from happening. I have put over a thousand miles on my bike and the pedals have never needed to be tightened.

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

I Tried tO adjust my brakes to hold better. I don't have an answer to your question. I will take my problem to a local bicycle shop in Palm Desert to adjust my brakes. My attempts to increase pressure on wheels was not successful.

Sounds like your slip clutch is either failing or needs to be adjusted or replaced, good luck.

There doesn't seem to be any options in the software that inhibit the wheel from moving like that. I would guess its a hardware issue, maybe something is stuck or broken. Perhaps opening it up could help you find out (if it doesnt void the warrantythat is, if it does then contact customer service)

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

it has been a while since I bought mine but I remember when I first put it together I screwed the wheels on too tightly and I could not push it very well. I loosened the wheels and it worked fine.

I have a problem with the 2 back wheels. After we had snapped on the wheels, we noticed the carriage was uneven. It's minor, but I can feel it when u push it. My only suggestion is to undo the wheel and put it back on. If nothing works, just send it back for a replacement. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

My tread was slipping off also. I just lifted both treads off the wheel and smeared contact cement (Gorilla glue actually), between the wheel and tread. I let it dry, and it works great!

I've had a little trouble with it. It seems like the front wheel just doesn't swivel like it's supposed to.

I think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

try pushing the wheels in tighter; they're supposed to snap in. you need to use some strength. put some elbow grease into it man.

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.

I have no idea why it happened, I've had mine more than a year now, and didn't notice anything. Does your bike still work, or is just making sounds?Check the belt, maybe it came off or is loose. If it doesn't sound like a loose belt that you can fix on your own, - contact the seller. If anything, - you still have time to return it back, and the bike comes with 1 year warranty (if I'm not mistaken).

We bought one for Christmas and it started doing that. We found that the chain is coming off - but we couldn't tell until we took the chain guard off. Apparently the tension spring doesn't hold strong enough when the terrain is rough. We put it back on a couple of times and have since wrapped a wire around the tension rod to hold it. It now works perfectly!
