Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I was an owner of the Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike, and like many others had it fail me when the pedals one day lost all tension. That bike was squeaky, the display was problematic, and it had severe longevity issues. And if you would like to hear about the ridiculous "self-repair" that Nautilus/Schwinn warranty forces upon the customer, read the many negative reviews of that bike.
This new one was offered to me for free through the Amazon Vine program. Right out of the box, I noticed that the Schwinn 150 is basically the Schwinn 140 rebranded with nearly all the same components save the computer module. Even the mounts for the obsolete bottle holder are still present on the neck, as it has now been incorporated into the computer console.
ASSEMBLY: Unfortunately, the very first piece to piece together, the front stabilizer, is defective. The end caps which contain the wheels (necessary to move the unit) do not have screw holes bored in them as illustrated in the manual. I finally just jammed the screws in their myself but let's hope they don't start tearing into the plastic and making problems down the road. Really unacceptable. Putting on the pedals and seat is relatively straightforward however.
There are also still major problems with the attachment of the computer module to the neck and the body of the bike due to the moderately rigid cable being substantially too long. DO NOT bolt on the neck completely until you have stuffed it into the body or else you will just have to remove them to position the display properly. It basically involves a lot of wiggling back and forth until the whole assembly fits together, but it can be done with time and patience. It's annoying, and one has to be very careful not to damage the delicate wires on either end for fear of disabling the unit.
PERFORMANCE: Here is where things seem to have improved. The seat is not nearly as creaky as on the 140, and the display is easier to view from different angles. It is also nice having the bottle holder located higher and the addition of the fan is a nice little touch, although I will be using a much larger auxiliary one. Overall the pedaling seems to be smoother as well. You can get a good workout from this bike... while it functions.
Alas, from what I can tell the bike still has the same guts and the sound of the little whizzy motor that "switches gears" appears to be the same mechanism which is prone to premature failure. Only time will tell if this bike will last, but from what I read in the warranty, the terms and conditions have not changed since the 140 -- which means that fixing it could be a major headache -- if even possible after the 90 day parts and labor guarantee.
BOTTOM LINE: Shop around for a better bike.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
In reviewing this Schwinn 150 exercise bike, I am basically comparing it to a Nautilus U514 exercise bike that we purchased on Amazon just a few months ago.
Even though this exercise bike is labeled a Schwinn, the inside of the box had the name Nautilus. I was encouraged by this, but it was short lived, as we learned after assembling and using this exercise bike.
The Schwinn 150 Upright Exercise Bike is made for larger bodied persons, and there are some advantages that come with that feature. The seat is larger than most exercise bikes, and that's a real plus when it comes to having a comfortable ride. The bike also has larger pedals, and for me, an average sized woman, this is uncomfortable. My feet literally fall through the stirrups, so I have to wear large shoes to keep them on the pedals when riding this bike. (Yes, the straps are adjustable, but it's cheap plastic strapping that isn't going to hold up after much use).
There are some nice features with the Schwinn 150, like an MP3 player port with speakers, and a book holder.
When comparing it to my Nautilus U514, which is a few bucks cheaper, there really isn't a comparison when it comes to quality. The Nautilus is better, in my opinion. The Schwinn has twice the preset programs, but otherwise, the panel features are very similar. The fan on the Schwinn has the quality of a dollar-store toy, while the Nautilus bike has a high-powered fan that actually puts out some air.
The Nautilus bike looks and feels better. It's solid and quality made. The Schwinn, though costing more, feels cheap and does not look like it is built to last. I also have a hard time adjusting the seat level.
Hands down the Nautilus U514 exercise bike wins this comparison.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I've had a 120 for about a year and it's held up pretty well so far. After seeing this one up for grabs on the Vine program I jumped at the chance to try the next model up.
Schwinn still hasn't figured out how to pack these things so they don't destroy their own boxes in transit, but luckily, all the parts were present and accounted for this time despite the fact that the box looked like it'd fallen off a train.
Assembly was generally more straightforward than it was with the 120, but the very first step--affixing the end caps to the front stabilizer--involves pressing some tiny, sharp screws down into a metal tube that wants to roll in order to penetrate the plastic. If you don't want to spend the night holding a bandaged hand over your head, wear gloves or pre-drill through the plastic. There's really no excuse for this.
Getting the console on was the only other thing I had any trouble with. It's really not that difficult of a process, but the illustrations in the instructions are quite poor, and there is no accompanying text to walk you through where the cables are supposed to thread through. Expect to re-do your work here at least once before you get it right.
In actual use, I do like it better than the 120. Being able to slide the seat forward or back a bit makes a huge difference for me, and the display is easier to read--both visually and in terms of comprehensibility. I still wish it had a simple tension adjustment knob and a timer instead of all the fancy nonsense they think they need to cram onto bike displays, but whattyagonnado?
The drink holder is a nice touch, but the fan is an absolute joke. It makes a lot of noise but barely moves any air, and it doesn't really even blow on you unless you move your face right up to the console. Nice try, but why bother?
Internally, I'm sure it's exactly the same as the previous models. Some have had catastrophic failures, but mine's been OK. It's smooth and virtually silent, and offers a pretty nice ride for the price. I wouldn't suggest that anyone trash an older model just to upgrade, but I'd recommend it to city dwellers looking to buy.
