it seems like every bad review on the bike was due to box being damaged during shipping, how is the actual performance of the bike? not the arrival!

Good question cause I didn't care about the box either. Mine arrived with all the parts and is decent for the price and level I was needing. It isn't an industrial (heavy duty) one but is perfect for the beginner trying to get into shape or the person simply trying to maintain their level of performance. It makes a little noise which is to be expected. The adjustments are not going to be fine tuning like a professional machine's would but they are definitely good enough.

The product itself is great. I still continue to use this and the bike is very useful. The bike's performance is great.

Im sorry I am not in liberty to speak of the bicycle at this moment. Though it was sent to me in good condition, I am a wounded Vet which needed other devices to go along with it and therefore, would be so unfair to answer the question. Though it is a good bike for the price.

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

Wish I could help with your question. For me, it's a great bike, but the tires that came with it were too narrow for the best ride, even on roads. Changed tires and it's a great ride.

I found the packaging good. In fact, I thought it was packaged very well. I did not have any problems with the pedals. I have been riding the bike for about 3 months and really enjoy it. I think it is a great bike.

The shipping box weighed around 22Lbs... I ordered the bike for a friend so will try and find out size of the box if I can.

Your doing better than I did. Mine never arrived, said damaged in shipment. I did get a refund thru A-Z guarantee but will stay clear of these folks.

I also had the same problem! I called support line and they said it was likely a broken motor. So they sent us a new motor and (after 3 weeks) a repair guy came. He couldn't fix the bike (because a pedal arm was stuck so he couldn't remove the casing). Called them last week to tell them repair guy could not fix the bike (he also called them). They told us they need to have a meeting to see how to next proceed. That was 7 working days ago. Still no word from them. Not impressed. Let me know how it goes for you guys!!

Ours is pretty solid. It was shipped international, with no protection, and only had one dent, yet the box was destroyed.

It's actually a pretty stout bicycle. Weight shouldn't be a problem. The problem is that Amazon is terrible with shipping and packing. I had a huge scratch on the 1 I bought. It's alittle awkward to ride, but very comfortable.

I finally received my 379 dollar preordered one from May6th today and not without multiple complaints emails and their suggestion to rebuy from a different manufacturer on their site for 50 dollars more.UPS could hardly get it up the steps it was so heavy. Took it out of the box and the tubing is a bit smashed on one side. Will be getting it set up on weekend so we will see if it works or not especially with kinked tubing

I feel a little drive train roughness in my bike, as though the chain, chainring and flywheel cog are not in perfect alignment. I haven't had mine all that long and I think it will probably wear in some, but it might not and I guess you could describe that as a slight vibration in the handlebars when spinning under load. I really only noticed it the first time I rode the bike and since then I don't really notice it, so mine isn't too bad.

They shipped in the same box for me. Expect the box to be in poor shape when it arrives, mine was all sorts of messed up, but the dumbbells were in fine condition.

Yes,I agree with your concern;It's been almost 2+ months since I own this Schwin 170,it is an excellent bike & it's a smooth ride!!! but one thing I don't like it's the seat,it's not comfortable at all ...too cumbersome /Big.

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 ordered this bike last summer. Yes it was delivered in one big box. once that you open the box it requires some minor assembly. be careful when assembling the front fork, the last thing you wanna do is drop the bearings when attaching the fork.

Hi Gene - this was backordered, and I got mine today. There was no damage at all due to shipping. I followed the "first time" instructions (add oil, install air filter, run unloaded i.e. with air tank valve open for 20 minutes) - that all went fine.It is working perfectly so far.Boy - its really strong and well built too. The manual is kind of crappy though - but its not rocket science.Rob
