Mr TailHappy :P I was ready to buy this spinning bike till i ended up reading about poor calibration from the factory, totally wrong power showing up in Zwift. Only three attempts possible to calibrate the magnetic resistance... Forums full of conversations about these issues, people saying that Schwinn fixing this issues is a lost cause... Whats your opinion on this???

[@mr.invisible3770]

I was about to buy a $300 bike. Then I found your channel and watched most of the reviews. You totally sold me on the IC4! I’d rather invest more and have a great long term bike.

[@ewalker405]

It would be cool to have a graphic at the end showing where this score compares to other bikes you have scored. Thanks for all these bike reviews. I think we are going to buy an IC4 soon. I was hoping there would be some kind of black Friday or cyber Monday sale, but I guess they are selling so fast now that none of these need to go on sale.

[@TailHappyTV]

Been thinking about adding that in soon, maybe next TailHappy Score formal review, thanks for the suggestion!

[@TailHappyTV]

Oh yeah didnt see any sales on these ones, high demand as is. I was thinking they theoretically probably need to raise the price on this and the peloton bike too so people who buy can actually get it delivered in a timely manner

[@theclash4u5]

It's $799 at Best Buy right now, cheaper than the Schwinn website

[@metalfaceplates]

@@theclash4u5 Well 2 months later, it is showing $899 and not available. But thanks for the heads up on this! It doesn't even show available on Amazon either.

@@metalfaceplates Just picked one up on Amazon for $801 and free shipping.

[@brandonkellyschroyer6007]

I will be buying one today! I like the fact that they don't pigeon hole you into purchasing their app! I plan on doing some free rides and when I need a little motivation I will try the Peloton app and use my iPad! I was able to get on one today and this felt like a solid bike and I love the feel of the handle bars! Thanks for your videos I have watched many and they have truly help me make my decision for what I was looking for!

[@cara_alexis]

As a former spin instructor, I love Schwinn bikes. I am going to purchase this of all the bikes I’ve seen on Amazon. Thank you!

[@vixtorialee376]

is spinning gentle on your knees? thanks!

[@MattStefely]

Watched a bunch of your videos and ended up buying the IC4 ($699 on a Best Buy daily deal) and I couldn’t be happier with it! Mine rides absolutely silently, neither pedal has ever come loose, and at 6’0” my knees never bump my water bottles, so really no downsides here! I love how quick the resistance adjustment is, and having all of the metrics easily sync with apps is great

[@vixtorialee376]

how are you liking it? it's the deal of the day today.

[@Smoove_J]

Very cool. I dropped $800 on mine. Determined to ride at lease 30 min daily to get my money’s worth.

Thanks! Your excellent review prompted us to buy the IC4 a few days ago when it was on sale at Amazon for only $500.

I also have an assembly video for this bike if you want a little guide for that, it’s a bit of a process 😆

[@rogerstorz8699]

@@TailHappyTV Thank you, but I already watched it this morning as I assembled the bike. They have modified the design a bit since you recorded that video, the rear support is now a bit wider and curved at the ends. I am 6'4" so I appreciated your tall person perspective when you did your review. Looking forward to watching some of your electric bike reviews - I figure if it fits you comfortably it will work for me too. Thanks again for your helpful reviews.

[@Alex-su9cl]

Kevin, could you give some feedback about the resistance? I am looking to get this bike but cant test it since everything is closed. Does this bike have enough resistance to simulate a good climb compared to being on a steep road with a normal bike?

[@TheSLappe1]

Thank you for your videos. After viewing them many times I decided on the IC4. Was very hesitant due to some of the issues you mentioned, and other owners comments. My local sporting goods store had one on display so I was able to hop on. I feel very confident now. Just purchased through your link. Keep up the good work and thank you again...happy riding!

[@howiefelterup329]

Amazon was selling it at 58% off at $499.. $560 out the door with taxes included. $279 cheaper than any other store has ever offered it, with Walmart being 2nd cheapest at 778 or something like that. However, the price already jumped back up to 799 on amazon only 2 days after purchasing it. Making it an excellent purchase. I'm extremely overweight and just want to get healthy again but running, or jogging is too high an impact on my joints (messed up knee from early days in martial arts). Hope this works out for me. I got a weight bench and plenty of dumbells of different sized but nothing to really help me with cardio until this bike. I Watched this video while I unpacked it. Thanks for the review. Your other video on assembly really helped me out too. I find the seat to be a little too stiff, though. Hurts my ass after about 10 mins (probably because I'm fat). Ordered a gel seat cover from amazon as well. hope it helps

[@natetheripper7139]

One point you missed is the usb connection on the side of the screen for charging your phone/tablet

[@TailHappyTV]

Dang it. You're right! Thanks for pointing this out Ripper!

[@TheKiwibirder]

Wow! This was a really thorough review. I am just starting to look into a home exercise bike, and I’m so glad I found your channel. This bike seems like a top contender for a Peloton alternative.

Same here. I was originally all for Peloton but it's so proprietary with the need to use their app.

[@AMRN77]

I’m 6’4” and it’s perfectly comfortable. I actually have the seat a notch below max height

[@James7995]

I know it’s too early to be looking at updates, but it seems like Schwinn is really close to having a great bike. It seems all the issue could be easily addressed. Fix the pedals/cranks, add resistance and a power meter, change the water bottle holders…they’re very close.

[@kimberlyjones5538]

Thanks for this! Your videos have been the most helpful for bike comparison. Amazon was sold out of the IC4 for a while but just got about 9 back in today. I cancelled my wait list on Schwinn's site and used your link to purchase. Looking forward to starting to cycle again next week!

[@BoogieSpiderman]

Oh man, I made an impulse buy and messaging you about how excited I was buying the Costco Echelon 4S. Fortunately, I have not opened it and will return it tomorrow LOL. I am so excited for this bike, after another reviewer mentioned Zwift application compatible. I am a novice road dude, but this seems more of a suitable bike for me regarding height, weight, adjustability, and multiple applications. I am hoping to order one first thing tomorrow, hoping they would provide a 15% military discount according to a reddit user plus the bonus free shipping. Good thing I followed your review about the water bottle tip. I live in the PNW, I don't mind the cold, but definitely concern about rain. Great review man. Zwift on a 70in TV! that's what I am so excited about.

[@amyburke8845]

I pretty much did the same thing. Ordered my Schwinn today. Echelon doesn't seem to have their kinks worked out yet.

[@BoogieSpiderman]

@@amyburke8845 @Amy Burke i just got my box today. Fedex delivered it to the wrong house. And boy I'm out of shape, but excited 😆

[@DeronDantzler]

I have really enjoyed mine since I assembled it a week ago using in part your video and the instructions. Now, it has started making a horrible creaking noise when I’m the saddle at about 20 resistance level and 80 RPMs. Standing seems to relieve it, don’t think it’s the pedals. Think it’s got to be the stand itself or the seat bar. Have spent 3-4 hours trying to contact Schwinn. It’s nearly impossible. Today I’ll disassemble the suspect components and add silicone grease where metal touches metal. See if that helps. Really feel like crap about this $800 purchase.

[@laurelhill4358]

Hi. I just got this bike yesterday and noticed the same problem. I definitely think it is the seat stand. Did you ever get this issue fixed? Thanks!

[@deepakpant1970]

Thank you for very comprehensive review of this model. Really appreciate it. I looked at other models and then decided to buy this one. Thanks

[@PWingert1966]

One small thing I did was add a couple of 3M cable clips (Amazon...) and that secures the data cable to the frame with just enough slack for adjustment. The adhesive on the 3M clips is much better than other clips so it's not going to shift or pop off later. But once you stick it on you live with that choice.

[@aaronmahnken1763]

I keep going back to the IC4. If the pedal is the only real problem, I can deal with it. I’m just looking for cardio, staying in zone 2, so I’m not interested in the class. I am interested in linking my polar app to it.

Ultimately decided to go with the ic4 thanks to your videos! I’ve done novice studio cycling before, but I’m taking my first steps into at home cycling. Your videos have taught me a lot and are very helpful in figuring out what to look for. I was wondering if you have any recommendations on cycling shoes?

[@MattStefely]

The playing field is much more even for shoes than bikes, but I’d highly recommend going into a bike shop to get properly fit if you have that option. They’ll make sure you get the right size/shape for your foot, can recommend insoles if appropriate, and might even measure and position the spd cleat for you

I want to buy a stationary bike but I never had in mind classes and work outs, I just wanted to get exersize when I cant ride outdoors because of weather. I like the Pendelton style bikes because they are small. My wife might like the classes. After watching a bunch of your videos I am confused. You are so thorough and show so many pros and cons I cant figure out which cons I am ok with. Can you please just recoemend a bike for my wife and I under $500. I am 5'7" and She is 5' 2". she likes more upright bikes, I am a road biker. what could work for both of us? I bought a Yasuda but haven't unboxed it yet.

[@BC-ni3sk]

I bought my IC4 Jan of 2021 and have put over 9.000 miles on it which has caused me to replace the two bottom bracket bearings. These at the bearings that the main crank with pedals attaches through. I can’t say if that’s extraordinary or not for a life on the bearings but to put it in perspective.I riide the bike between 45 minutes to an hour putting on about 14 miles each day typically 7 days a week. Other than the bearings the bike has been solid!

[@bpwag]

Really appreciate your videos! It would be awesome to see a comparison between the new Echelon GT+ and the Schwinn IC4 since they are in the same price range. Do you have a gut recommendation between the two (we already use the peloton app for non bike fitness, so we'll want something to rig with that)

[@GigiUK]

Hello 🙂 I just took delivery of a Schwinn 800ic 2023 model (formely IC8), and even though the heart rate monitor that I'm using is connected to various apps on my iPad, it doesn't connect to the bike. The bike itself is also connected to the apps, but all that I am seeing on the console screen is the letter P ...aaand the flashing red heart symbol after pressing the Bluetooth button once. Long-holding only makes a bleeping sound, but that's it. I can see in your video that there are numbers on your console's screen, and that's what I am hoping mine to eventually do, too. I am using a brand new Polar H9 heart rate monitor, and it's obviously working because it's connected to the apps. There's nothing in the manual, nothing on Google and nothing on KZbin. I was hoping it would automatically connect to the bike once I pressed the Bluetooth button, but alas... I only see the letter P 😭 So, do you recommend that I do something? Do I press two buttons together similar to changing kmh to mph? I am at a loss. Thanks in advance if anyone can assist :)

[@BrownJedi87]

So a year later, do you still stick to what you said in this review? Almost a no-brainer at $800 since I actually considered the Peloton but really didn’t wanna spend that kind of money. So close to pulling the trigger on this one.

I am having an issue with connecting the heart rate monitor to the bike’s computer. I cannot get it to show a number under pulse. My polar monitor connects without issue. And no one at schwinn seems to know anything about how the monitor or heart rate monitor works. Can you please do a video on how to connect Bluetooth monitors with the bike’s computer? It would be greatly appreciated!

[@mindrub1]

Considering this bike. Noticed a few reviews mention that resistance set at "zero" on IC4 is not "free spinning." One review compared 0 resistance on IC4 to about a 15-20 on Peloton bike. Anyone else notice or have an issue with this? Thanks.

[@peterairs]

I would agree. There’s about a half turn before the 0 resistance moves to 1. It is possible to recalibrate the computer to give true free spin at 0 and pretty much lock up at 100. But I’m not too bothered about doing that yet.

[@janosbojthe8086]

Thank you very much for this video. I ordered the Schwinn IC8 (European Version of IC4) here in germany 2 days ago and have to wait till mid/end march for delivery.

I focused on getting a quiet bike since i will be using it in an open room. Don't want to disturb family members too much.

Do you have any suggestions on how I could make it work? At first, I thought it would be easy with some pliers, but the metal is pretty tough. I am so frustrated....

Thanks for your videos, very informative. For a budget of up to $1000 would you recommend the ic4 as the best option for a open concept bike? We don’t want to be locked into any one company for classes and already have a peloton and Apple subscription with Apple Watch. Is there a better option for under $1000 for a bike that allows you the freedom to use other apps? We were also considering the $1000 echelon bike at Costco but fear that forces you to buy into the echelon system.

Hi there! Thank you so much for these videos. I was at 2 Dick’s Sporting goods to try bikes and I agree, the assembly is terrible. But even with the terrible assembly, I could tell I liked the ic4 best out of the echelon and pro form models. After watching your videos, I’m encouraged that the Schwinn is the bike for me. One question - I’ve seen Amazon reviews saying the threads on the pedals have stripped or loosened after shockingly few rides, resulting in pedals coming off and even some injuries. Most people have noted that it’s the right pedal, and I found it interesting that you had some trouble with the right pedal in this video. Have you noticed this issue as you’ve been riding? Some seem to believe it’s actually a defect in the manufacturing of the threads/pedals. Since I’m not very mechanically minded, this is one big drawback for me. I will most likely have a hard time fixing something like this or installing a workaround. I’m also worried about potential injury. Any advice/comment is greatly appreciated! Thank you! ETA - excuse me! I believe it was your iC4 vs Echelon connect video where you had the pedal issue.

Почему никто нигде не пишет что у этих спинбайков педали жестко связаны с маховиком и по инерции продолжают крутиться когда ты перестаешь давать нагрузку - что легко может травмировать и в принципе неудобно (отличается от того как это происходит на велосипеде)?

On the Schwin ic4 can you tilt the part where you put your iPad towards or away from you. Just wondering if that rest area moves at all?

[@kerriburke3389]

No it isn’t adjustable.

Is this the same bike with the bowflex C6?

I have been looking at getting a workout bike for my apartment. I can't stand treadmills they hurt my knees and hips. I'm not entirely sure what bike would be best for me

What's your budget

[@2writeluvonherarms00]

@@TailHappyTV $1000 is the highest I can go

[@TailHappyTV]

@@2writeluvonherarms00 check out my latest video, you can get the 1805 for much less than 1k

[@2writeluvonherarms00]

@@TailHappyTV okay thank you. I was looking at the IC3 but it had mixed reviews some people have posted videos of the loud noise it makes

Do you have a video for the best indoor bike under $500?

U know there USB port for ur phone on the main display

Just bought for $699 on amazon, can't beat it at that price!

Question. So I’ve got the opportunity to purchase two different bikes second hand, either the echelon ex5 for $300 or the schwinn ic4 for $450. I really have no desire to use the echelon app and would prefer the peloton app. It’s my understanding peloton can work with both but it works better with the schwinn. There’s also a chance I’ll never even use an app and just do the freestyle mode so bike quality and metrics may be the highest priority with peloton app functionality as a close second. Which is the better bike overall for my needs since the price I’m getting is great for either? Thanks!

[@TailHappyTV]

I’d probably go with the ex5 at that price
