schwinn 203 vs schwinn 230: can you determine what the advantages are for 230 over 203??
1066074
The 230 (and 231) have a step through design to get on and off. The older, and no longer made, 203 and 213 have a longer rail that the seat attaches to, that goes all the way to the pedal unit. This allows the seat to get closer to the pedals and people with shorter legs can use it. If you are sharter than 5'4" it is questionable wheather the 230 or 231 will work for you.

I bought this for my handicapped sister who has balance problems It works wonderfully for her. That being said, should you have a problem with the trike the company customer service is non existent. Repeatedly called customer service and got absolutely no response. Also, shop around, you can find an identical bike at other stores. Walmart has an Schwinn adult trike in blue for $224.00. If I had to buy this bike again I would NEVER BUY THE WORKSMAN! Hope this helps.

i got to try both of them out in a store they both feel really smooth but i went with the Nautilus e514 it just felt a bit more sturdy and has a nicer display the schwinn 420 display was kinda hard to read as the Nautilus was light up bright with big nurbers and imo is the better buy ......i had my Nautilus e514 for 4 months now and i use every day and its still like the 1st day i brought it ....and im only 5"4 so we are pretty much the same hight 'good luck on your work outs and hope my review helps

Well if you like recumbent bikes the Schwinn 220 is a great choice. If you buy it at Academy you can get it for just $299.00, which is about $50 lower that what it sells for online and you don't have to pay postage, just local tax. It's gotten excellent reviews and you won't be disappointed.

The 470 schwinn model that I have really is 70.1 inches at the base when the machine is not in use. Allot for a couple of more inches front and back for the stride in the pedals when you are using it.

Hi Bat Babe, You've probably already purchased a bike, and if you have, I hope it was the Schwinn 220. I bought one last August for a 74-year-old Auntie who had just had a knee replacement. It's now almost a year later, she's running around like she's 16, and she swears it's because of her 220. She rides it every day. Oh, almost forgot, she's 4' 9". She has to adjust the seat all the way forward and use a pillow, but says her 220 is still wonderfully comfortable and works perfectly. Good luck! Grant Ritchie

Hi Linda I see you posted in April 2010 so this reply is probably too late, but it may help other users. I am only 5", and I bought the Schwinn 230. No problems with reaching the pedals; it works like a dream!

I would recommend it but must tell you that when I was in Sam's club last week the had a schwinn adult trike with 3 sppeds that looked to be much better quality and if I had my choice of it or mine I would choose the Schwinn. The only thing that really bothers me is not being able to use the rear fenders. Because of that, if the roads are wet , it kicks water up on you. Other than that, it's great

230 is just suggested retail. Many places will sell it cheaper. It is the same item. The only little difference there might be is this might be last years model. They changed the logo on the newest one, that's the only difference. Don't worry

Yes, the bikes are exactly the same. The 200 is just the 100 with the computer console. Just let me know if I can be of more help. Thanks, Andy

The main difference in these three machines is the motor. The T101 has a 2.25 Continuous-Duty Horsepower motor while the T202 and the T303 has a 2.5 Continuous-Duty Horsepower. This makes the T101 ideal for walking and light jogging, while the T202 and T303 are great for runners. The T303 has a Heavy-Duty Folding Frame With Extra Stability Bar. If you are wanting to run everyday on the treadmill, the T303 treadmill is the one for you. The T202 and T303 also has an incline rage up to 12% while the T101 has an incline range up to 10%. The T101 and T202 has 30 programs and the T303 has 12.

I'm 215 and have XC 30's on my trek 4500 and definately a big upgrade from what came stock. They come with a medium spring but you CAN get a stiffer spring if needed. Also, playing with the rebound and preload settings play a big part in dialing them in. I suppose it depends on what bike they are going on and how/where you ride. Just stay away from XC 28's as those will definitely bottom out on you lol.

See page 15 of the User's Guide: http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/OM/schwinn/SCH_Active10-20_OM.pdf I haven't had to change mine yet so I can't be more specific.

I don`t remember but I can tell you not to waste your money on this model. Very poor quality. Buy the Schwinn Airdyne model that is all steel and weighs 96 lbs. It`s better made and because of it`s weight, you`ll get a better workout.

Yes, it seems to have been discontinued, because it's not shown on Schwinn's website anymore. But there's a 430 model which is probably similar.

Glad to help, not sure how I started but ended up here at a Schwinn page with this URL that has an exhaustive list of products by category. Here is what you need though: http://www.schwinnfitness.com/schwinn_fitness_us/customerservice/manualsen.jsp and don't worry if this link is not up to date, it should at the very least get you to categories of products that are up to date now compared to the link I provided and bookmarked over a year ago. Schwinn changes their site over time, but I just tested the URL I provided and found the category for recumbent bikes and then re-found the manual. In fact just tested it before posting so I know it is very close. Also, I had bookmarked a site or two from their Canada site which I must have been led to by a google search and this works as well: http://www.schwinnfitness.ca/schwinn_fitness_ca/customerservice/manuals.jsp The KEY here is these 2 sites are FREE sources of manuals, so do NOT sucker for one of those sites that sells other companies products because these for profit companies have such a presence when we do our searches now that we forget sometimes that real companies like Schwinn do have Support pages too. And by the way I noticed when I clicked on the download link tonight - the URL was identical to the one I bookmarked in Chrome well over a year ago, and viola I was presented with my Owners Manual in PDF format. So u can try this direct link too and save some steps although I would say the 2 previous URL's are safer bets to ensure you have an exact product and year match. http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/AM_OM/Schwinn/SCH.220.MY12.AM-OM.EN.pdf Good luck, md

I'm not familiar with the Schwinn. The main concern regards to how tall you are. If you are taller than 1,75 meters, I would not recommend.
