Great video! Thanks for showing all the details how to set it up. can’t wait to purchase a Schwinn bike for my father that’s 77 years old I think he will really enjoy it!
This was a life saver! I wish there were more videos like this for these things. I followed the whole thing and had my first successful workout and I'm all set :D thank you!
Great instructions. The bike only came with set up instructions, not program instructions. By watching this video I now know how to better use my 270. Thanks so much.
Wow! What a great job you did on this. I followed your clear, precise video on setting up and...voilà!...my wife & I can finally use our Schwinn 270 bike!
I just got a Nautilus E616 elliptical that has almost the same console, which is what got my attention. Didn't realize this was for a bike until close to the end of the video. I will look for the correct video for my elliptical but this video was still very helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. I purchased this bike one year ago and needed a video to visually explain the display settings. You did a great job. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for the bike set-up video and the console walk through. You do a great job of making sense of what otherwise could have been a daunting experience.
SUPERB Video!! I watched it once to be familiarized; then started it over and programmed our console step-by-(very easy) step as the video played. Every bit of programming went exactly as described. My most Very Sincere Thank You. I "LIKEd" it and will contact the salesman at Dick's who sold the Schwinn 170 to me to tell him to recommend this video to everyone who purchases one.
@@cherrychocolatecola I'm not technically inclined, but my husband is. When you say "blank", do you mean the screen lights up but there's no information on it? Or do you mean the screen is dark? If it's dark, the little power box on the plug has failed--which is common and easy to replace. But if it lights up with no info on the console screen, something has failed in the board, and that's much more complicated.
Your video was great setting up my 570r. But i have the same problem as several people have mentioned here, the heart rate reader is all over the place. It said 199 BPM after about 1 minute of pedalling. and then nothing, and then 160. Might have to return it as its the main reason I bought this model. At 71 yrs old, I need to keep within the recommended BPM limit. Thanks for the video
Thank you for posting this video. There must be something wrong with the BPM on my bike. As soon as I started pedaling my BPM was 135 whilst my BPM on the Pulse Oximeter was 65.
Well done I very much appreciate your style as you do a good job of explaining and then demonstrating. Same comments regarding your set up video. Thank you
How do you connect to Bluetooth, Schwinn Trainer App is taken off the Apple store, I tried to Explore the World and Bowflex and was not able to connect to the Bluetooth, any help will be appreciated in advance.!
Has anyone else noticed that the heart rate monitor spikes , and stays there no matter how long you hold the handlebar monitors contacts??? I even noticed in this short little video that when he put his hands on the heart rate contacts of the handlebars it spiked, and all he did was take his hands back off the contacts.
Great video, I learned some things I did not know. I have the 170 model, but I want to know how the levels translate to watts? Any thoughts? Also, how do I set up the blue tooth to work with other apps like zwift, RGT, etc? It only seems to work with Explore the World. Thanks!
This is the best console setup video on youtube. Thank you!!! Had only one glitch, which is that in the initial scroll through, i neglected to turn the beep off. Now the editing options won't show the sound screen. How can I get back to zero so I can turn the stupid beep off??? Thanks.
I came here for this very question. I'm thinking there must be a way to go back to the settings without resetting the entire console? Beep is SO loud and annoying!
The only way to turn it off is to press and hold the right arrow and pause/end red button. simultaneously. It does take you back to the beginning, but it's the only way to get access to the sound option again. Turned mine off, Finally!
this is a good video. i do have a question. my speed sensor is not working i reset the air gap but still no distance and calorie readings. any suggestions?
Hey, great tip, thank you. Can you please help me with a Nautilus E628? The console turns on but stays blank without any welcome text. Pressing buttons doesn't do anything. I tried pulling the plug, etc. but no joy.
I can't get that Bluetooth app to work on either my late models Samsung phone or tablet. When I choose a scene it just crashes or something. Any solutions? Thanks
Excellent instructional video,thank you very much for all your time and effort! Does anyone know where the “Schwinn Trainer” App is? (Not on the App Store) Does it no longer exist? Is there a replacement? I’ve looked everywhere to no avail. Thanks in advance! 🇦🇺
Sorry not that I know of. Everyone let us know if there are different language options on your console? Maybe outside the US? If it’s there, probably in the startup somewhere. Press and hold right arrow + pause/end. Hit OK to cycle through that menu. Any language option there?
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful for an old lady! You referenced an Explore the World app by Schwinn. I found one by Nautilus and one by Peloton, both of which charge you. Can you confirm this for me? Thanks.
Nautilus JRNY app I believe charges Peloton app has several membership options. One of the options is free. Explore the World by Bowflex (same as Schwinn) is free apps.apple.com/us/app/explore-the-world-by-bowflex/id1486446693
How do you activate the Bluetooth option? As you can tell I am not computer savvy!! 🤣 I have downloaded the app to my phone and my iPad. But attaching it to my phone to the bike it doesn’t seem to apply to the panel.
Hello! Very good video. I'm wondering if you're knowledgeable about troubleshooting. My schwinn 170 was working great, but suddenly stopped registering anything on the monitor. It does illuminate and shows the section outlines that would normally fill in - welcome, speed, etc. Any ideas on what to check? Thank-you.
@SaveMoneyDIY Yeah, they weren't any help as far as troubleshooting. Tried to sell me a tension/resistance motor, a tool to remove that part, and a new console for almost $400. I think I'll just spend some time tomorrow disassembling and see if maybe a wire is kinked somewhere. Thank you for replying to me anyhow - just hoping someone else had seen this issue.
Thanks for the video! I'm about to order the Schwinn recumbent bike but curious: I heard some screatching noise in the end when the Explore World app was playing...does the bike make noises when in use?
I have the Schwinn 430 Elliptical. It works GREAT, but for some reason my console screen does not light up. It's brand new. One website said to make sure it has "fresh batteries", but I see no place to put batteries in on the console. Can anyone help?!
I like my 470 but I'm not figuring out how to save a custom program. Can this be done? I simply want to save a program under my user name where I specify the time as well as both intensity levels. Surely this should be intuitive to do but so far I'm not seeing it.
I tried to reset console and now it write "pwr cycle now", i'm pretty lost. (Schwinn 270). Also, My speed in km/h is the same as the mile/hour, the app show the corrext speed but not the console...
Did this video help you save time or money? Please consider the “Super Thanks” button…see the Like button? Keep going to the right you will see dislike, share, create, download, and then you see a Heart with a $ and it says “Thanks” under it. Give it a try! Thank you! 👍
I'm having a console problem with my Schwinn 170 model. After I plug it in, the console lights up but none of the commands work. Does anyone know why and how to fix it? It was working fine until now (for about one year).
Good morning - I can't figure out how to set the reistance to one setting. I would like the setting to stay at a certain level and not change according to how fast I am pedaling. If the resistance becomes so high that I can no longer pedal, can I manually lower it a lowe setting. Thanks.
Yes you should be able to adjust resistance the way you want. I made this video to answer your question hopefully it helps: ruclips.net/video/tlFS0gZKUvI/видео.html
Hi thanks for asking. So far as I can tell, no sound with explore the world. And I have not seen guided workouts, but don't know maybe there are some out there?
Excellent video, you are a pro! You did not mention the USB port (I don't recall it anyway)...is that strictly for charging purposes? (even that might be a silly question!)
Question. This is my 2nd schwinn 270 recumbent bike. The intensity levels in the programs such as mountains - mount hood are not changing every 2 mins. Did something change and or how is the timing of the intervals determined. The every 2 min change is so much more practical rather than being stuck on a level for 12 mins before it moves to the next one. Can anyone explain this and how do I fix this? I always choose the calories goal and it supposed to do this when you choose it. Hope you could follow along here!
Hi thanks for the good question. So each bar is 2 minutes when the total workout is 30 minutes. In other words, since there are 15 bars, each bar represents 1/15 of the total workout time. If you’re set on calories, I’m not sure if the console automatically chooses the total workout time? But hopefully this helps a little.
Thank you for this video so as you pedal faster or slower the Explore the World App video speeds up and slows down? Also is it possible to hAve the app change the resistance say if it is currently going uphill? Thank you.
Yes the video in the app adjusts to your speed: the scenery advances faster or slower according to how fast you pedal. To my knowledge, no, you cannot change resistance within the app and there is no app-driven adjustment of the resistance so it doesn't matter if you're going uphill or downhill in the video you just get the resistance that you set the bike to.
This was a great video, and I appreciated it very much. being in our 70's this made it very easy to start up our new bike and use it. thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
Y si no enciende la pantalla! Me puedes ayudar para eso o ya no se puede arreglar cuando no encienda?
Just bought the machine and found your video to be the MOST helpful! Thanks!
Great to hear!
The Schwinn 470 elliptical also has this same console. I was able to use the info in this video for the 470. Thanks for posting this!
Cool, because I just ordered one of each!
Great video! Thanks for showing all the details how to set it up. can’t wait to purchase a Schwinn bike for my father that’s 77 years old I think he will really enjoy it!
Thanks for the feedback I hope he enjoys the bike!
Your instructions were so great! I put the bike together myself instead of paying to have it assembled. Thanks so much..😁
Great job! Glad it helped!
This was a life saver! I wish there were more videos like this for these things. I followed the whole thing and had my first successful workout and I'm all set :D thank you!

Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the bike set-up video and the console walk through. You do a great job of making sense of what otherwise could have been a daunting experience.
My pleasure!
Great bike for the money. Doesn’t take up a lot of space and is very easy to set up. I love it.

Just got one of these second hand with no manual and was able to reset the console thanks to this video. Ready to go, go, go 👍
Fantastic!
Where did you see how to reset in the video?
My console is just blank and i just want to reset it
@@cherrychocolatecola I'm not technically inclined, but my husband is. When you say "blank", do you mean the screen lights up but there's no information on it? Or do you mean the screen is dark? If it's dark, the little power box on the plug has failed--which is common and easy to replace. But if it lights up with no info on the console screen, something has failed in the board, and that's much more complicated.

Just got the bike yesterday. This is excellent! We can’t wait to start.
You made this so easy to understand and execute, thank you thank you!!!!
You're very welcome!
I am from the Hadwin Channel, just came to check out your schwinn 270 vid
Hahaha that's awesome
Super helpful! I was at a complete loss, ready to give up! Thank, thank you.
Glad it could help!
Very good set-up and overview video; has helped me understand even more features of my Schwinn 270 bike.
Thank you and enjoy the bike!
Very thorough. I got a used Schwann Journey 4.0 elliptical, and there are some differences, but I found it to be extremely similar. The video helped.
Great to hear!
This was the best set-up and console videos I have ever seen! You made it easy and clear to understand! Thank you!!
Thank you and glad it could help!
Thank you for the video. Lots of help. Probably have to watch it again!
Glad it could help!
Thanks! Ours is arriving this week so I wanted to get an overview of the console. Nice job. I'm sure I'll be referring to this again.
Sounds great and thank you!
Thank you. Well done. You are very good giving tutorials
Thank you and glad it could help!
Well done I very much appreciate your style as you do a good job of explaining and then demonstrating. Same comments regarding your set up video. Thank you
Glad it could help and thank you very much!
Excellent video. Thanks. The same console is also used on the Nautilus R616.
Good to know thank you!
They just delivered the R616 and there are none of these instructions with the packaging!!!!
Very in depth and helpful review video.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for the wonderful effort.
How do I get the electrical circuit for this board?
Awesome! So much more helpful than the Nautilus video
Glad it could help!
Great video. Nicely explained. This helped.
Glad to hear it, thank you!
Nice comprehensive review.
Thanks!
THANK YOU !!! I could NOT figure out the Custom Program from the Manual: I think there is a typo. But your video was very easy to follow.
Glad it could help!
I have the Nautilus R616 which is exactly the same bike. It's just a tad cheaper and a 2 year warranty opposed to Schwins 1 year warranty.
Thank you. Exactly what I needed for my 270. Do you know which apps are compatible with the Schwinn 270?
How do you connect to Bluetooth, Schwinn Trainer App is taken off the Apple store, I tried to Explore the World and Bowflex and was not able to connect to the Bluetooth, any help will be appreciated in advance.!

So were you able to SAVE the modification to the custom program that you did? I'll go try it as well .. thank you.
is there any app that can actually control the resistance to simulate a ride just as the built in programs do??? thanks.
Not that I know of. That would be great if there were.

It turns off by itself after a few minutes. Or you can unplug it.
I tried to reset console and now it write "pwr cycle now", i'm pretty lost. (Schwinn 270). Also, My speed in km/h is the same as the mile/hour, the app show the corrext speed but not the console...

DOES IT AUTO ADJUST the resistance in the virtual workout or swift?
In explore the world app, no, it runs whatever program/resistance the console is set to. I believe all other apps are the same.
This was great. Thanks❤

Are these supposed to stay on as long as the plug is in the wall?
It times out and turns off by itself after I think 2 minutes or something like that
My schwin bike’s wheel is making noise please please help
Is there a way to check the total miles on the bike? If there is I can’t find it.
Not total miles, no. Just total hours. Watch @2:00 to see that.
When unplugged, does the information get lost ??
Hi thanks for the question. No, you can unplug without worry, the info will not be lost.
Actually, after some extended period of time, the date and time clears and needs to be reset. User data is retained though.
