I set the level to 1 and after 15 plus turns it goes to very difficult to turn for 3-4 revolutions and then back to level one. Why is this happening?

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.

My guess is the resistance changes depending on what program she has it set for. The profile for the program selected shows by the length of the bar when the resistance will increase or decrease. There is one program that stays at the same level 1 the entire time if that is what Happy Grandma wants to do. I suggest she call Schwinn at 1-800-628-8458. I have called them on a couple of occasions and find them to be very friendly and helpful. Same suggestion for Lucia Lamprey.

I wish I could help you. Can you tell me why I've never been able to set any resistance? I don't think the resistance function works and this may be related to problems with the screen.

Ok thanks. I thought mine was broken since I set its preferences to Avoid U-Turns and it was still telling me to "make a U-turn". For some reason it does not have oneway street info for at least two cities here in Oregon with populations over 12000.

Mine wasn't easy to calibrate. You need to press a button on the back and go around a block - - - a complete 360 degree turn. You may have to do this several times to get it to be reasonably accurate. Good luck.

Yes, I did. Well, 3 full-size and 1 kid. Have you ever played Tetris? If not, go put it a few hours and try it again. :) It just takes a lot of planning to make sure that handle-bars, wheels, and seat don't keep bumping into each other. It took me probably 30-45 minutes to figure it out the first time. Now, I have all the levels set and it's easy.... just don't forget which bike goes where...

You have to push down hard and turn as the same time. It took me a while because I was afraid I would break it. It gets easier the more it is used.

I'm having a problem with this game. I'm not sure if it's my computer or the game. Try another Moraff's Mahjongg game. I have had success with volumes 1 and 2. Hope this helps.

Hi Lawrence, I've recently been having problems with that as well. If I accidentally hit 'reverse' before switching to 'on', it sometimes gets stuck going the wrong direction. When it happens, I usually have to toggle the switch back and forth a few times before it changes to the right direction. Looks like I need to change my review on it.

I believe there are two settings. One setting scrolls through the phases. The other lets you pick one phase and stick with it.

The same thing happens to me. As the others have said, it's like a child-proof cap that requires turning while you rotate. However, even with that knowledge I sometimes I have trouble. I usually spend 7-10 seconds pushing and rotating and pushing and rotating and eventually it just works. I suspect I'm just not pushing hard enough sometimes, because I seem to be more successful when I position my body directly above it so I can really lean on it when I push down.

If you do not start turning immediately it develops a coating of ice. Just work it back and forth until you can get full rotations and then turn every couple of minutes as directions suggest.

Mine turns with the stiffness you want (so it doesn't slip easily) but it's not uncomfortably tight and moves freely when turned. Try working it a bit to see if it just needs the tightness worked out of it. Otherwise you may want to swap it if you think it hurts your ability to freely make adjustments.

Mine turns fairly lightly with my hand right out of the box. There are detents at each punch finger position, that holds it in position. Push harder. If that doesn't work, try lightly with pliers or another tool to free the wheel. You might have a bad one

If you press the "+" to quickly to get to a higher level, the unit will have a constant beep. This happened to me several times before I figured out what was happening. Simply press and hold the "-" (minus) button until the unit beeps and goes off, turn it back on and wait a few seconds between pressing the "+" to advance levels. This should solve the problem! Hope this helps! KC Vancouer, WA

Well, mine XV is 1 out of 5 stopping near the base. This botvac was bought for a friend of mine and it's stuck just once in a month.

I find the height adjustment VERY difficult to move and I am a very large strong man fyi Something must be broken on this or the manual is as bad as I believe in describing this as its just simply not fluidly doing it without me exerting extreme force. ... even then I cant seem to raise it to the top 3 levels. I can only lower it by pushing down extremely hard. Something has to be wrong here ... operator issues (machine seems to be smarter than me ) are a possibilty but ....I doubt it. Thoughts or help ?!?

It is normal to have a little increased resistance compared to a normal wheel. You should still be able to ride it, but it will feel very slow. If the wheel doesn't turn at all, then it is either defective or installed wrong.

Yes, when you get to the last peg don't continue around instead turn around. You can find lots of tutorials on youtube to show you how.
