There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I am an outdoor cyclist and figure this bike has now seen the equivalent of around 800 miles on a road bike. I have been reading reviews and it seems that there is some quality inconsistency -- mine is great; other folk have problems. I find the bike to be sturdy and reliable. I ride pretty hard both in and out of the saddle (that's what spinning classes do) and use a variety of resistances from easy (high pedal rate/"flat road) to low pedal rate, high resistance simulating hill climbing.
I have had one significant issue so far -- The display stopped working after only a couple of weeks. Schwinn support was good except they mis-diagnosed the problem. They felt is was a faulty sensor and sent a new one. Since the display began to work again a few days later I diagnosed it as sweat getting into the connector (I sweat profusely during the ride and the display and wiring get soaked). So I used duct tape to protect the vulnerable area and that worked. I never did swap out the sensor. More on the display later.
I also developed a small noise in the pedals after about 30 hours. I tightened them up and was good-to-go again. I think it is good to check and tighten moving parts periodically to prevent problems. For those who are concerned about all of the complaints about pedal problems you should note that so many of them are concerning the left pedal. I think some people do not realize that the left pedal is threaded opposite direction. Screwing it in clockwise (normal direction) will result in cross threading and early failure!
Now, back to the display. The electronic display would be much more useful if the cadence information was not alternating with the speed data. The only two true pieces of data are the cadence and heart rate — they should both be in their own area on the display. The speed, distance and calories are not at all accurate since they do not take into account the resistance of the felt brake pad. More brake pressure simulates a higher gear and, therefore, would result in a higher speed for the same cadence. Similarly, calories burned are a function of both cadence and resistance so are therefore not accurate (resistance not taken into account). My suggestion is to move the speed information to alternate with the distance information.
Since the heart rate on the display only recognizes a limited number of HR monitors (and not mine) I devised another solution. I removed the display and for about $10 got the same bracket I use on my road bicycle to hold my iPhone (it clamps onto the handlebars). I now can use my heart rate monitor and my cadence monitor from my bike for an accurate display (my phone). AND it then gives me a record of the workout by time including calories burned. Using an app like Strava I can now keep track of my workouts in a way that I can see progress (or lack thereof).
Another minor issue is that if you sweat a lot, the front fender needs to be a bit longer to prevent sweat from dripping onto the flywheel’s circumference. When sweat from my head drips onto the flywheel it changes the resistance generated by the felt braking mechanism. I made an extension using part of a Weber BBQ drip pan attached by duct tape.
Read my "first impressions" review below for the multiple user issue I discuss -- not a problem for me but might be for some!
Bottom line: Great bike at a fraction of the price of the well known "professional" bikes. I have gotten used to changing the resistance using the knob and find it easy to follow online spinning classes and get great workouts. I have had good experience with response to questions, etc. from Nautilus (Schwinn) customer service. Had to wait on hold for longer than I would have liked but I understand this problem since sales have been so strong that the customer service lines are swamped. Exercise equipment became the new "toilet paper" due to Covid-19. The warranty on this bike is great and I am thankful that I found a way to exercise vigorously to keep my sanity until this Covid-19 thing is over!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a "first impressions" review. The bike arrived on time, well packaged and in good condition. Assembly was straightforward (took 1 hour for me to assemble alone). There are two points in assembly where a second person would have been helpful -- getting the stuff out of the box (without destroying the box), and attaching the front and rear stabilizers (requires elevating the attach points). Both difficulties are because the bike is heavy with heavy flywheel and those become pluses for the riding experience.
I have ridden it one time so far and the bike is extremely stable, smooth and quiet. It feels like the bikes in spinning class.
One big drawback: If you plan to share this bike with another person (or several) it will be difficult for each to consistently set it the same way each time. There are four adjustments: seat height and fore-aft position; handlebar height and fore-aft position. Only the seat height can be consistently set (pin into holes). The other three settings have no specific position markings and the only way to re-set to the same position after they have been changed would be with a ruler or tape measure. Additionally, these three adjustments are secured by screwing in adjustment handles which cause pins to bear on the corresponding post. They have to be torqued down pretty hard to avoid wobble and, I believe, repetitive re-setting positions will cause failure to lock in the positions without wobble.
The IC3 is well-built and heavy. For those considering their first "exercise bike," note that a spin bike feels more like riding an actual bicycle. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your perspective. If you are just starting out and are intimidated by skinny seats and unforgiving geometry of a real bicycle, then you should probably buy an "exercise bike" instead. But if you are used to riding a real bike and want something that offers a similar experience, then you'll want a spin bike. You're in luck too, because they are often less expensive because they don't have many bells and whistles. They are simple and just plain work.
A note about squeaking: Many spin bikes develop an annoying squeak or whine. It's nothing to panic about and it doesn't really reflect the quality of the bike. It just happens. The resistance mechanisms on these things are dead simple - just a felt pad pushed by a spring against the rotating wheel. It 'aint rocket science, but it works reliably. Sometimes, at certain combinations of pedal cadence and resistance, they can develop a harmonic squeak, much the way rubbing your wetted finger over the rim of a wine glass in just the right way will make it sing. Yes, the squeak can be annoying, but it is super easy to fix. You just need a TINY bit of lubricant. A single pea-sized glob of automotive brake grease was all I used. I rubbed it between my fingers and then smeared it as uniformly as possible along the rim of the wheel in a super thin coating. Squeak gone! As a bonus, the small amount of lubrication also made it easier to micro-adjust the resistance.
Anyway, the IC3 is very well built and I expect it to last a very long time. It's so simple and solid, I almost can't imaging how it would break. My one nit is that I wish the handlebars would raise just a tiny bit more. They're OK, but another inch would be super.
Skip the Peloton. Get this. There are plenty of spin class videos on youtube if you really need the motivation of someone yelling at you. Better yet, check out the many scenic ride videos. I virtually biked in the Swiss Alps yesterday. It was awesome!

Reviewed in Brazil on October 27, 2022
I use this bike with the Peloton app. The computer readout displays RPM (cadence) although the RPM information alternates with the speed (km/h) information so it's a bit of a nuisance if you're trying to follow RPM closely but the display is showing speed. Over time you'll know the speed equivalence of RPM/cadence so it doesn't bother me that the display doesn't show RPM all the time. (ie: 35 km/h = approx 90 RPM, 25 km/h = approx 70 RPM) The Schwinn bike does not display resistance levels. One tip I have if you're using the Peloton app is to go and try the Peloton bike at one of their showrooms. You'll get a good feel for what a resistance level 20 / 40 / 60 feels like so you can adjust accordingly with the Schwinn bike based on feel. For me close enough is good enough. Peloton resistance levels are generally a range/guide and each person adjusts according to their comfort/ability anyways.
The calorie information does not take into account resistance. It seems to only take into consideration time and distance. The bike does not come with a heart rate monitor despite the computer having a box that would show heart rate/pulse if you purchased a compatible remote heart rate monitor.
If you use a large tablet (for the time being I use my iPhone) it can be difficult to grab the water bottle out of the water bottle holder since the tablet would be in the way. I would purchase a separate water bottle holder if I do use a tablet in the future.
I have Specialized cycling shoes with shimano clips. They are perfectly compatible with the clips that come with the bike. No issues at all clipping in and out of the bike. I have taken off the cage straps as they kept slapping the pedal itself and making noise when pedaling with cycling shoes.
Assembly was easy and straight forward. You'll need two people - one person to hold/lift the bike up while the other person places the front and back base brackets in place. The box is also heavy and should be moved by two people.
All in all, I love this bike. It solid and well built, looks great, quiet, feels great, rides smooth. This isn't a Peloton bike but it does all the things that spinning bikes are supposed to do. If you're looking for a cost effective alternative to Peloton bike or just a solid spinning bike for your home, I highly recommend this one.
