5.0 out of 5 stars Execllent Exercise Bike, November 18, 2010
By

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Schwinn A10 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports)
The Schwinn A10 is a relatively new product, and is the new iteration of the much more reviewed Schwinn Active 10. It has improvements over the former, but also commands a higher price as of now. Whether or not Schwinn will eventually phase out the Active 10 for the A10 is unknown to me.

====================

PACKAGING:

The bike was in a large box which had a shipping weight of 65 pounds. All of the components are placed into two foam molds, which were very secure. The condition it will arrive in will most likely vary depending on the carrier and how they treat it.

====================

ASSEMBLY:

Each component is wrapped in a plastic bag, and the console comes in its own box inside the package. Assembly instructions are provided, along with two User's Manuals, in both English and Spanish. All necessary tools and fasteners are supplied***. If one did not have trouble taking the components out of the... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy!, February 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Schwinn A10 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports)
When I ordered this I didn't see the one star reviews. Bought this about two weeks ago. Just got home and put it together. Just like everyone else said the cable is reversed. Can't use bike. Called Nautilus Inc and they are closed. I see this is going to be a pain in the butt. Don't buy unless you want frustration! Purchase your bike from a local store! Lesson learned!
Update - Did get hold of customer service after an hour and half wait on phone! Said they would send two cables but would take about a month. Waiting on cables. After reading other reviews I see a new console in the future which will probably take another two months! Still recommend you to stay away from product!

Update 4/1/11 - Ended up having to get a new console as well. I have not received the cables or the console. I have not been able to use the bike since it arrived. I also have two other friends that have bought this bike. Each one has had the same problem. It doesn't even... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Bike is great, but the seat is NOT easily replacable!, October 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Schwinn A10 Upright Exercise Bike (Sports)
This upright stationary bike is great. I was transitioning from an old "friction" based old fashioned bike and the resistance is so much smoother with the A10. There are enough programs / resistance levels to make training interesting and is a great alternative to the gym cycles.

The only minor negatives to the bike and is really specific to Amazon is that the recommended "Schwinn Pillow Top Cruiser Bicycle Seat" is not compatible with this bike as far as I can tell. I emailed Schwinn/Nautilus support and they confirmed this being the case and they have no alternative seats to recommend. I'm a novice cyclist and after 30 minutes on this bike, my crotch area gets pretty sore (more so than my outdoor bike). I was hoping the "Schwinn Pillow Top Cruiser Bicycle Seat" would fix this but can't be used. The only other gripe is that the Fan is pretty pathetic and if you (or your 3 year old) accidentally leave the fan on, it will drain the "D" batteries in a few hours... Read more
