What reviewers didn't like
Heart-rate contact sensors are inaccurate unless gripped exactly right.
The only thing we don’t like is the idea of buying the chest strap separately.
Not for Tall People: Tall riders cannot extend their legs far enough with this bike.
Schwinn provides heart rate monitoring in the handle grips of this bike. They also provide the ability to use a chest heart rate monitor. So, if we’re going to split hairs, I guess we could point out that the chest strap is not included.
Needs to be plugged into a power source at all times for use
Grip pulse reader is unreliable; bike is best when paired with a wireless heart rate transmitter (sold separately)
The LCD screen will not indicate to you that the resistance has changed.
The bottle holder is placed on the left side of your bike, so it seems a little bit inconvenient for someone who not very good at left hand
