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.

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.

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.

Not easy to move around... By the way the bike broke about in 1-year. So, I suggest you look for other alternatives.

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.

It's been some months since I did the fix on my bike so my memory is fogging. If I recall correctly the speed and RPMs are measured by a sensor that detects a magnet as the flywheel spins. If that is in place and hooked up correctly then I'm stumped. I suggest a call to Schwinn. Their customer service is very helpful.

Mine works fine...but I just leave it on high and shift the bike from gear to gear. Sorry I have no solution other than that.

Yep, the bike must be in motion with the pedals moving. This is pretty much true of all dérailleur systems. Enjoy! I still have mine and though I've had to make small adjustments, it still rides great.

No brake. If you have it on a hill it will roll away but there is usually a tool or something you could put under a wheel to keep it from getting away. If you are sitting on it on a hill you will have to use a "foot brake", like using your foot to stay in place. I've not found this to be a problem. On level ground one is usually sitting crossways to the line of travel so simply getting up does not cause it to move.

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)

Just don't turn the key on or push the on button. It works just like a regular bike that way. Hope that helps

I bought these pedals and the first thing I did was to take the bearings out and add grease. When I first got them one of the pedals was tight and made noise. Adding grease seemed to help. Hope this helps.

Hello, I had no problem with mine, I think yours has some kinda electric problem, did u get extended warranty? If not call Schwinn I am sure they can help you what to do.

It spin very smoothly. You can take the whole pedal out or install it with regular tool

Bummer. Same issue here. Used daily for 1/2 hour and slipping started after a year or so, and is getting worse over time, now approaching 2 years. I guess time to start looking for a replacement bike. Tightened the belt as well - did not help, may be the expensive axel or flywheel components that need replacement.

I live in SW Houston, TX. My local Schwinn Repair facility can fix these bikes. Take a trip or telephone call to a "local" Schwinn dealer. For an automobile I used to get a stethoscope to listen to ticks and other sounds, to try to locate the source of a sound. Try this, but be careful to not get tangled in the mechanisms.The pedals and other things that spin might be loose. Jiggle these to see if it is the axle or the things that spin around to try to feel something loose; tighten as required. Try the Schwinn helpdesk, perhaps online.

The tires have good traction, so it pedals uphill and downhill well, but it is a tough work-out on little legs. I also would keep it on even terrain; tricycles have a weird center of gravity that I don't fully understand. But, if they turn the trike too fast, try and cut a corner too close, the inside wheel loses surface contact. If they are riding over uneven surfaces, I think it would make it unsteady/unstable. We keep ours on the sidewalks, and inside the house.
