The bike arrived promptly and I had an Amazon technician put it together well. Very impressed. BUT at the two week mark, the bike developed a deep knocking sound on the right and vibration could be felt as the metallic knocking occurred as the arm and pedals were in motion. I had the Amazon technician come back, and he and I both agreed the set up was sound and good, but something was going on internally and both he and I did not want to get into the inner workings of the bicycle. So I call Bowflex/Nautilus/Schwinn. They wanted me to disassemble the entire body of the bike so they could "TROUBLESHOOT" over the PHONE. I was appalled, likening this experience to calling my auto dealership with a problem and them asking me to rent a crane, remove the engine and see if the timing belt was slipping. My Customer Service agent didn't get the irony. Long story short, the warranty only covers PARTS, not DIAGNOSTICS, and now not only did I buy a bike no more than three weeks ago, I now have to pay, upfront, 139.00 for a DIAGNOSTIC VISIT from a third party company. Please be aware of the facts. This is a big bike. I would return it, but I have to pay someone to pull it apart, the box is gone, so I would need to repack this baby and send it back. Very disappointed overall. Very.

Hi, I bought the bike a month ago for my wife and yes, its a cardio killer,
You start to sweat after a minute. This one is well built and works great. Does not blow air on the rider. That's why I did not bought the new model. She dont like it she tried it in the store. If you have short arms, then buy the new Model. She is 5.5 (1.70 cm) tall. The only thing that is not okay is the saddle. We have to buy a new one, we both feel that we are sliding forward and its annoying. He is slippery from the surface, is probably built cheap.You have the opportunity to adjust the saddle to sit further forward and backward. The setup went pretty fast.
But it's up to you how smart you are. Or you are looking for help. It's definitely a very good bike where you can burn calories very fast.

Not at all like the old big fan style Airdyne. I don't ride this because the seat sits too far back and there's no way to adjust it forward like with the Airdyne Pro model. If there's a replacement seat out there that adjusts forward I would buy it. As the way it is now it's just too uncomfortable to ride for any length of time. Not a well thought out design over the old Airdyne. Why should I have to pay several hundred dollars more for the Pro model just to have an adjustable seat?

This exercise bike meets all my expertations.I read many positive reviews on this bike before I bought it. My husband set it up in no time, i start out with ounce a day a ten min ride to slowly build up my endurance and plan to gradually work it up to a half hour a day I can easily watch TV while biking this makes the time go faster I love that I can work out my arms and my legs at the same time or if I choose to separately this bike is very sturdy no noise while biking I love to ride this bike I will positively recommend anybody to get this bike Don't look at the cost it is well worth the money. Just simply buy it and start your exercise routine it is a smart choice thank you to the people of Schwinn for providing such an excellent product!

This is a rather long story"¦but before you shell-out the big bucks for this bike I would suggest you read it.

I'll never trust any reviews again. I'm a runner who is getting on in age and lives in Jersey and sometimes the weather keeps me from running in my local park. I decided it was time to invest in an exercise bike"¦but which one. I live on a fixed income so price was going to be a concern, however I believe in the old saying, "you get what you pay for." So I was willing to put out a large chunk of change for a good solid bike that would last until I physically couldn't use it any more"¦hopefully several years.

Since I would be using my Amazon account I trolled around to see what they were selling and that's when I saw the trusted, iconic name of Schwinn. I choose the AD6 with a price tag of $559.00 plus tax because I liked the idea of getting an upper and lower body workout. I saw the reviews were overwhelming positive except for several negatives that mentioned a metallic clanking, clanging and banging coming from the pedal area. Again thinking "Schwinn" I assumed that the problem wasn't as bad as those reviews stated or that those people didn't put it together right, etc."¦surely it wasn't anything the manufacturer did.

So I placed my order and was excited when the bike arrived earlier than expected. I was even more excited when it took only 30 minutes or so before I had the bike assembled and was working up a sweat.

That was in May of 2016. By July 2016 I wasn't so excited anymore. A loud banging developed around the pedal area"¦I couldn't place exactly where it was coming from"¦nothing was hitting anything and nothing was loose so I called customer service"¦and called"¦and called. People there were very polite and kept sending me parts. How what I was supposed to do with them I didn't know. Finally, the banging was so loud I could no longer use the bike without disturbing my neighbors. I live in a small apartment with units above and alongside me.

January 27th a technician arrives, walks in sits on the bike and say's, it can't be fixed. He didn't have a lot of good things to say about this model but did say I could continue to use the bike"¦nothing will happen...but the way the bikes are made now there is no way to fix the loud banging. I called customer service with the technician here and they agreed to send me a new bike.

OK that's great"¦stuff happens. I'm willing to forgive and forget and I'm excited again. The new bike arrives on march 10, 2017 and it's great"¦once again I'm peddling along and getting a good workout when snap"¦the crank belt brakes.

OK stuff happens"¦I buy a new belt watch a You Tube video on how to install the new belt which was easier than I thought it would be and I'm back in business once again. Easter Sunday I was going at a pretty good pace when I heard it"¦Clang, bang, clang, bang. The bike is useless unless I move it outside in a field where it won't disturb anyone.

Bottom line"¦Schwinn got my $559 and I got a very expensive piece of crap to hang my clothes on. It's a real shame that people will see the overall good rating for this bike and the name Schwinn and buy one.

I apologize to all those reviewers for assuming it was something you did and it will be my mission in life to get the word out about this piece of crap product. You can bet the word "Schwinn" is not mentioned in this home without an expletive in front of it.
