So you’ve decided it’s time to purchase an exercise bike. Maybe you’re trying to build some more fitness into your routine. Perhaps you’re a runner and are dealing with injuries, forcing you to find a different way to exercise. Whatever the reason, you want to make sure you have a bike that’s gonna propel you forward, not hold you back. The Schwinn Exercise Bike model 130 is a great bike that will help you achieve your goals.
Chances are, you’re looking for the most bang for your buck. Obviously, you want to spend enough to get a high-quality product without sacrificing on quality. That’s what you get with the Schwinn Exercise Bike Model 130.
Entertainment
One of the best features of this bike is that it has built-in speakers! Personally, I don’t really like wearing ear buds or headphones when I work out. A lot of exercise bikes have cheap sounding speakers. The quality is really good on the Schwinn 130. Obviously, they’re not gonna be as great as your home entertainment speakers. But they get the job done well!
If you like to watch TV or movies while you work out there’s a panel to put your phone or tablet. This is great because it gives you an actual place to watch something, meaning you can put your bike wherever is most convenient. When I ride a bike I like to watch something since it makes time go faster. This gives you that opportunity wherever you have the bike!
There are 22 preset workout routines that come built into the bike. Several of them work to control your heart rate so you really can tailor your routine to how you want.
Controls
This is probably the weakest point of the bike, but it’s not necessarily bad. The controls are made of plastic, so they don’t have as sturdy of a look. Some Schwinn exercise bike models do have sturdier controls, but that’ll cost you a bit more. For what you get with the bike overall, this isn’t bad at all.
Overall Build and Design
I’ve used a few exercise bikes before that are rickety and you feel like you’re putting your life in danger as you pedal. I distinctly remember one time when I had to reduce the speed because I was sure the thing was gonna rattle apart. You won’t experience that problem with this bike. It’s built to strongly support up to 300 pounds which make it a great bike for a lot of people. There’s also a set of wheels on the front of the bike, so you can wheel it from room-to-room if you want!
The seat is fully adjustable and surprisingly comfortable. That can’t be said about most exercise bikes, that’s for sure.
Noise?
Oh my gosh, this bike is so quiet! It’s amazing. Definitely one of the best features. When you switch resistance, you’ll hear a slight noise but it’s nothing major at all. It’s one of the quietest models on the market, especially for the price tag.
If you tend to sweat a lot when you work out, there’s a built-in fan that works really well. This doesn’t come standard with a lot of models, so it’s a definite perk!
Overall, this bike is a total win for the average person who is trying to build some exercise into their life. Whether you’re trying to recover from an injury or lose weight, this bike can get you there.
