Which is newer: the Schwinn 470, or the Schwinn Journey 4.5 elliptical?

The manual is for both. It says 470 / Journey 4.5, so I think they are the same. There are no references in the manual distinguishing one from the other. I got the journey 4.5 at sports authority. You can download the manual from schwinnfitness.

This is a very basic elliptical - whatever is average would be the answer. Even though we had to return it because of shipping damage we learned that it had all the basic strides and height.......We originally bought it because of the limited space we had.

The Schwinn 120 had a straight pedal post where the user could easily hit his foot or ankle while pedaling. The pedal post of the 170 is offset, moving the foot and ankle further away from the potential contact point. My wife and I have been using the 170 almost daily for the past 2-3 months and have never hit our feet or ankles.

That's a tough question. I bought my first dahon 5 years before I bought the 2nd one for my husband. I saw that Schwin one for cheaper and almost got it. I decided that I have had such good luck with mine....never a problem...and have rode it quite a bit. Also it is suppose to be such a good brand for a folding bike. But I will say my sister bought the Schwinn and seems to like it. It even comes with a carrying bag. Also Dahon one on Amazon only comes in black....not that pretty....but Schwinn comes in a pretty blue with beige, I believe. I think you ought to go for the Schwin.

If I were you I'd call Schwinn and ask them. I guess you didn't see my review where I gave them a one-star rating because the electronics in my bike just up and quit after about 40 hours of use. I threw my bike away.

Don't buy the Dahon. I've had nothing but trouble with mine. I can't tell you about the Schwinn or Loop. Even something as simple as changing a flat tire on the Dahon was a headache. Then we had the failed coaster brakes, and on and on...

The elliptical is shipped partially constructed. The pedals, arms and onboard module require assembly. The assembly of these parts require two people.

Hello, There really is not much of a difference. On the new model, we changed the seat a bit not to include the plastic cushon/pad. Also, one of the hardware pieces changes from a nut to a bold. We permanently discontinued the black Tricycoo. I think those were the only changes. Are you familiar with the Joovy? We have several other toys as well. I personally love the Bicycoo which is Joovy's balance bike. It is great for speeding up the transition from toddler to bike without training wheels. If you have any more question please respond below in the comments or contact Joovy's Customer Care Center. They love answering any questions you may have. Thanks! Thanks!

I emailed Schwinn a couple weeks ago with the same question (customerservice@schwinnfitness.com). They told me that at least in Northern California, there are no brick & mortar stores that carry the 460- not sure but I think it might be a "web-only" product.

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like it is 200 lbs. http://www.amazon.com/SOLE-E55-11-Sole-Elliptical-Trainer/dp/B003Z4G7IC/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t It certainly felt that heavy while setting it up. This is a machine you want to assemble in the room where it will reside. The flywheel assembly alone required two people to move.

Not sure on model number but believe newer model is silver and older model is black. I purchased black on amazon at a huge discount. Had to search internet to find black add-on to carry four bikes.

I have purchased both for my 27 Schwinn, 1979 model, and all fits. had to pry fork at front to make rim seat properly but had no problems with either. good for touring as well

having additional gears to choose from allows the bike to climb hills easier using the lower gears(more pedal revolutions) and obtain a faster cruise speed in the higher gears(less pedal revolutions) so it works much like a manual transmission in a car. I found that this would not fit the Schwinn meridian adult trike however , the axle is not long enough

yes. From the many review sites I have read to research which elliptical to purhase, the 2011 version of the E25 has a power incline mechanism. The controls for the incline is located on the two inner handle bars connected to the center console. The resistance controls are also located there.

I'm sorry, I do not have this piece of equipment any longer. I returned it about 1 month after I purchased it due to difficult to use and couldn't get ANYONE to talk to on the phone, but that was about 2 years ago, maybe it's different now. I purchased an EPIC elliptical from Dick's and love it.

Hi Rebecca! I purchased the Schwinn Elliptical 431 and I am just 4'11" tall and found that this trainer is perfect for me. I cannot use most of the elliptical trainers at my club because of their long stride. This is a perfect fit for me. I grab the center part of the handlebars rather than the ends (though I am able to do both) and have found it to be quite comfortable. The stride is perfect for the petite person! This trainer would not be the best for a really tall person. My husband is 5'11" and finds the stride and handle bars to be terrific. Lee
