Schwinn Joyrider Trailer/Stroller Jogging Wheel Does anyone know where I could find this wheel? I've looked at perfectly safe, prime time baby, baby whiz and every other website I saw in old discussion threadS ot Amazon reviews. I called pacific cycle/schwinn/instep and they told me that the wheel has been discontinued. My husband and I just purchased the trailer, had we known this beforehand, we would've looked at something else. To return this item would cost me more. Any help, suggestions, ideas (including anyone selling their jogging wheel if not being used) is SO greatly appreciated.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

If you found anyone or any sites willing to help in replacing tires let me know please. I would greatly apprecaite it. I was thinking of taking the wheels to a bike shop see if they can fix it if all else fails...

I had the same issue. Call Baby Jogger; they'll replace the front wheel if you're still under warranty.

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.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

My husband removed the front wheel from trailer and attached trailer to wheel hub of his mountain bike. I've posted images for you here. Hope it helps. --- http://jlsousa.smugmug.com/Schwinn-Scout-Bicycle-Trailer/ --- Please let me know if you have any other questions. All the best.

Hi! I have bought one few months after I bought the Ezze glider, I just wanted to have it in any case if needed, however you can try this site where I made the purcase...I did it on the second link. Hope this would help.http://www.glidebikes.com/parts/rims-tires-bearings-and-tubes/ezee-and-mini-glider-wheels-air.htmlhttp://www.balancebikes.com/parts/rims-tires-bearings-and-tubes/16-tubes-for-ezee-glider.htmlCheers, Silvia

The jogger stroller is a little bit bulky. The 3 wheels do easily disconnect (with the push of a button) and easily re-connect (just push / snap into place), which makes more compact and easier to transport. I'm think the stroller would fit into the corolla trunk if you pop the wheels off. With that said, I would NOT consider this a "light weight easy to manage stroller". What we did is purchase this set (jogger stroller and carseat) and we also purchased the "frame stroller" -&gt; Graco SnugRider Elite Stroller & Car Seat Carrier (http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRider-Elite-Stroller-Carrier/dp/B008OIPZW8/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1408646069&sr=1-1&keywords=graco+frame+stroller). We are glad we did - get the best of both worlds. - The "frame stroller" is super light weight and compact - we keep this in my wife's car trunk all the time and use it whenever we are around town (I.e. grocery shopping, dining, etc). - We use the jogger stroller when going on walks from home, or when we want something more heavy duty (I.e. going to an amusement park, going to the beach, or just about anything that is a longer all-day adventure). Now that our daughter is getting a little bit older / bigger (15 months) she really enjoys sitting in the jogger stroller without the carseat (prefers it greatly over sitting in the carseat). Hope that helps...

I bought one for my 3 year old niece after seeing a boy riding around the sidewalks at my condo complex. My brother in law put training wheels on it which defeats the purpose of a balance bike. I don't think she rides it too often but they live on a step driveway. When I was purchasing I heard about the same maker creating one with wheels you can eventually put on. I liked that a lot buy couldn't find online in stock. I do think a boy would like this and after initially being against the idea of a bike without peddles, I do think it teaches them how to catch themselves when they are about to fall. Also, the seat can easily be raised and my 5 year old niece sat on it and seemed to be fine. I bought one for my 3 year old niece after seeing a boy riding around the sidewalks at my condo complex.

Glad to help, not sure how I started but ended up here at a Schwinn page with this URL that has an exhaustive list of products by category. Here is what you need though: http://www.schwinnfitness.com/schwinn_fitness_us/customerservice/manualsen.jsp and don't worry if this link is not up to date, it should at the very least get you to categories of products that are up to date now compared to the link I provided and bookmarked over a year ago. Schwinn changes their site over time, but I just tested the URL I provided and found the category for recumbent bikes and then re-found the manual. In fact just tested it before posting so I know it is very close. Also, I had bookmarked a site or two from their Canada site which I must have been led to by a google search and this works as well: http://www.schwinnfitness.ca/schwinn_fitness_ca/customerservice/manuals.jsp The KEY here is these 2 sites are FREE sources of manuals, so do NOT sucker for one of those sites that sells other companies products because these for profit companies have such a presence when we do our searches now that we forget sometimes that real companies like Schwinn do have Support pages too. And by the way I noticed when I clicked on the download link tonight - the URL was identical to the one I bookmarked in Chrome well over a year ago, and viola I was presented with my Owners Manual in PDF format. So u can try this direct link too and save some steps although I would say the 2 previous URL's are safer bets to ensure you have an exact product and year match. http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/AM_OM/Schwinn/SCH.220.MY12.AM-OM.EN.pdf Good luck, md

It seems a bit heavier than a previous jogging stroller I had. I never verified accuracy of that but it doesn't have the safety cord so this alone screams "not a jogging stroller". But I did take it on a 5k once and wouldn't do that again just because it's just harder. The wheels are also more like a dirt bike wheels than a cycling wheel so you'll have more resistance there too.

Me too! Just had this problem...called and they were wonderful! Here is what they needed from me and voila...new wheel! :) Thank you for contacting Baby Jogger. I am sorry to hear about the issue you have experienced with the front wheel on your City Mini single stroller. In order to process a warranty claim for a replacement front wheel assembly, I will need the following information: Copy of your proof of purchase (original receipt, credit card statement, email confirmation, etc.) Serial Number and Manufacture Date (these are engraved in the vertical metal bar, above the back right wheel) US shipping address Phone number for shipping purposes Once I have received the above information, I will be able to begin processing your warranty claim. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you and have a great day! Just call 1800-241-1848

This model can not be converted into a swivel wheel. If you are a serious jogger, this is the best stroller. When you are on a run... the front wheel not moving left or right is very safe! There are other Jeep models I'm sure with swivel wheels. Hope this helps... enjoy!

I don't know...I can't seem to get that question answered either. I can't get the front jogging wheel or spare parts. If you find out let me know please.

Will do! :) How funny. I am now actually looking at the Graco Quattro Tour Duo for my first primary stroller, just because it's cheaper and comes with cupholders, carseat attachments, etc. I looked at the Duoglider in the store and it was horrible, but the Quattro has better reviews and supposedly folds down 20% smaller. Looking at the measurements, it SHOULD fit... never know though. I'm going to try that one out this week. The boutique I went to to look at the City Mini actually had the Quattro Duo in stock but I just totally didn't even look at it, ha.

Actually, if you are looking at the most current City Mini Double stroller by Baby Jogger that hasn't been released yet, you may want to double check with them directly before you purchase anything because the adapter they are showing on their website looks a little different. See here: http://www.babyjogger.com/product/city-mini-double/

Hi, This is a discontinued model. I spoke to Kirk of Discountramps.com. He stated this stroller is made in China and replacement wheels are unavailable. a similar one the Sidekick stroller will soon be discontinued. Sorry, Jose G.

No. I hated mine. Ended up taking it to the dump and getting a Baby Jogger City Mini and I LOVE it! The Peg Perego was awkward, flimsy and could not handle even the slightest bump in the sidewalk - nearly dumped it over a few times with my girls in it. It was awful.
