why does the back wheel spin but will not run when weight is on the bike

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!

Because Razor changed the bike..no suspension..mine did that on the first day. Junk! Razor should be ashamed..

Sounds like a problem with the motor. Gears maybe bad. It has never happened to our bike. If the bike is new call it into customer service ASAP. Easy to swap out the motor.

I had the same thing happen. I don't recall what the issue was exactly (I was working an had a mechanic frien look at it). Turns out I had to get a new rear wheel assembly (under warranty). The new wheel worked for us. My initial thought was the battery wasn't charged enough, but it was a manufacturing issue. Hope this helps a bit. I would ask for a new wheel. I still have the old one (didn't have to ship it back. Makes me think they are well aware of the issue and don't want it either. Good news is I didn't have to pay to ship it back).

make sure the screw is in the hole in the back. It should not be on the metal that spins the back tire, but as you move it around there is a hole to put the screw in.

Works as long as you load the rear tire of the MTB into the device. I started out loading the front tire (as my girlfriend at the time did) but recently switched to the rear due to the bike being prone to falling. It is early in the switch, but has worked so far without any falls.

will only continue to spin due to momentum. i do not believe it is a freewheel.

I have riden a few times with no rider on the back. When I got going really fast the back starts to bounce around a little bit and torques the bike side to side a little bit. I dont think its a big deal, just dont go really fast.

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.

You'll want to put a piece of rubber between the handlebar & strap because it will spin down if you don't.

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.

The front wheels rotate, they can also be locked so they do not rotate, the back wheels are stationary.

The front wheel does not pivot. It's not a big problem for me. I just take wider turns.

the seat had a standard mounting bracket, which is like a standard bicycle seat post. If the spinning bike has a standard seat post should have no problem.

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

I have no issues with the bike except it could have a tighter seat. Call a local bike company and maybe they could help you.

I have never heard of a "spinning bike" but if it uses the standard two rail or straight seat post it will fit the bike but if the peddles are positioned pretty much under your seat you may find that as you peddle the backs of your legs may push your bottom forward and eventually off the front of the seat. I believe this seat will work best on a bike that has the peddles located more forward of the seat like a cruiser or a "comfort bike". It is a very comfortable seat "the most comfortable" I have ever come across but it needs the rite kind of bike to be able to enjoy it.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Fortunately the bike i purchased for my son works well even though he does not use it. The only thing i can think of is to have a mechanic or tech guy look at it. They may be able to tell you which part is defective and then you may be able to order a new part and have them install. Sorry

A stationary bike will work if the fly-wheel is exposed and has a good texture to grab the shaft of the dynamo. It's designed for the rubber tire of the bicycle to work sort of like a gear against the textured plastic cap on the end of the shaft making it spin. If you can affix it to the stationary bike so that it is up against the spinning wheel and if the there is enough friction that it doesn't sleep it should work fine.

There are 2 batteries in the bike. The panel is powered by a simple 9 volt battery. The rechargeable battery shown here provides the resistance for the wheel. However, if this battery runs down, the panel will not light. I would suggest trying to replace the 9 volt battery first since they are cheap. If that doesn't work and especially if there is little or no resistance when you start pedaling, then you may need to replace this one.
