Schwinn 130 Review
Schwinn 130 Upright Exercise Bike assembly was not simple but not too difficult. This is a great bike. I have been using almost every day. It has a heart rate monitor which is helpful.
You can set goals for your workout by time, distance or calories. It has preset workouts from easy or casual, mid level and challenging.

I enjoy mixing up the presets during the week. You can also export to a USB stick and upload to online programs. It has 2 profiles to store workouts.
You can also just get on and manually set the resistance levels and just ride as well. It has a fan with 3 levels which is nice after riding for a while. Another nice aspect is it has clips at the top to hold a tablet. I like riding while watching videos from primer Netflix. Sometimes I watch biking videos as well.
The bike is a lot more robust than I expected at this price point. It’s very solid. Fit and finish are excellent. The seat post and tube are integrated and will accept a standard bicycle seat. I bought the Schwinn Pillow Top Cruiser Bicycle Seat, SW74163 2PK. Its mounting hardware is identical to what’s on the standard seat.
Easy to assemble, easy to use, and provides just exactly the type and level of exercise that I require. In my opinion, a very good value! Just what the Dr. ordered. Came in very fast, easy to put together in under 30 minutes and extremely quiet.
The drive mechanism is very smooth and the 20 programs are very nice to change the tension and routine. It does exactly what it state it does and we have been using it heavily with no problems at all.
There are numerous great features, including a USB port and an area for holding a Kindle or similar device. There are speakers and an LCD window that displays training programs, heart monitor, etc. There are numerous programs to choose from so you can start low and work your way up. And it has a built-in fan with 3 speed options — an awesome feature.
This Schwinn 130 Upright Exercise Bike is a descent machine for indoor lower body workout. It does not take up too much space, can be stored in a closet, has wheels in the front for easy moving, the seat has multiple height adjustments, the pedals are smooth and it runs very quiet so the TV and music can be enjoyed without background noise.
The plastic adjustable straps on top of the pedals are useless so I just took them off. The seat is not very comfortable; after biking for 45+ minutes behind will complain. I use a tiny cushion during use. There is a fan for a gentle cooling overall it has what one needs for a quick efficient and quality workout or an addition to a workout.
The Schwinn 130 Upright Exercise Bike itself is sturdy and offers 22 resistance levels to intensify your workout. It’s extremely quiet which is great for me since I have a one year old & typically use the bike while he is napping.
The seat is fine for short periods of time (15–20 mins). I may buy a padded seat now that I am using it for longer periods. The iPod/USB port is a nice feature. The sound quality is fine for an exercise machine. Overall, it’s a good bike for the money.
