App connectivity via Bluetooth to your own mobile device

The Schwinn 230 MY20 Recumbent Exercise Bike has an up-dated console that includes 13 built-in workout programs and 16 magnetic resistance levels so there’s plenty to keep you motivated and challenged even if you don’t wish to subscribe to the Apps.

 

The Schwinn 230 MY20’s console features a large 5.5” LCD screen for easy viewing of your workout stats.  Data displayed includes Time, Speed, Distance, RPM, Calories Burned, and Heart-Rate.

The Schwinn 230 MY20 Recumbent Bike now includes the option of both Telemetry heart-rate monitoring (chest strap not included) and Contact Pulse grip heart-rate monitoring (the older 230 bikes only offered the Contact Pulse grip option).  Contact Pulse grip sensors are located in the handlebars each side of the seat.

 

As with the previous Schwinn 230 models, the MY20 Recumbent Bike utilizes a high-speed high-inertia perimeter weighted flywheel which ensures smooth and quiet operation throughout your cycling workouts.

 

To help keep you cool and comfortable as you workout, the Schwinn 230’s seat is constructed with a ventilated design on both the seat bottom and the backrest support.  The seat is easily adjustable for different user heights via its easy-to-use slider seat rail system.  Simply adjust the lever to bring you closer/lower to the pedals or further away/higher from the pedals.

The Schwinn 230 bike itself weighs around 80 lbs and features front-mounted transport wheels for easy relocation/portability.

 

The Schwinn 230 MY20 Recumbent Bike has a footprint of around 64” long x 27.7” wide and, as the bike is electrically powered, will need to be placed near a standard electrical wall outlet (AC power adapter is included).
