It seems like the pedals are always spining. Is there any way that i could let the bike roll under hill without moving the pedals?

Well the bike comes in "fixed" mode when shipped. Flip the rear wheel to other side in order to use the "freewheel" side of the hub

flip the wheel to the other side and that should be the free wheel side. make sure that your bike has 2 gears 1 on each side.

I don't recommend playing in the dirt, because debris can get into the gearbox and jam the gears. Even in full sunlight, the gearbox torque isn't enough for bumpy terrain. My gearbox had a slight misalignment and the robot would often jam at a particular part of the gearwheel rotation, and I would have to make sure that the robot had enough momentum to overcome the jam on its own; otherwise, I would have to rotate the wheels myself to fix the problem. The best solution for me to overcome the jam was to have my robot travel down an incline plane that had a significantly flat surface. If your gearbox is better than mine, you probably would be able to use your robot on any inclined plane, possibly even fairly rough surfaces, but you will still be taking a risk to the delicate parts of your robot if you played with it in the dirt.

I have no issues with the bike except it could have a tighter seat. Call a local bike company and maybe they could help you.

It's been some months since I did the fix on my bike so my memory is fogging. If I recall correctly the speed and RPMs are measured by a sensor that detects a magnet as the flywheel spins. If that is in place and hooked up correctly then I'm stumped. I suggest a call to Schwinn. Their customer service is very helpful.

Sorry to hear that. However, I'm not the seller. I bought the same bike and its in great condition. No problems with the pedals.

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

No... the pedals do not free wheel. The pedals and drive wheel are always engaged.

There is a T handle screw on the pedal housing. Tighten it and it increases the pressure required to turn the pedals. I also put several 10 lb dumbbells on the leg bar away from where you are sitting, to keep the unit from moving across the floor, as you will be seated and it will want to move away from you especially on a tiled or wooden flooring.

I have a couple of those hills too. A lot of the hills in my area are in the 45 to 60 degree range. The bike handles them beautifully. Put it in low gear before you get to the hill. Be prepared to pedal. You can do it. I love this bike.

Sorry to hear about your problem. My suggestion is to contact Schwinn manufacturer. Probably an easy fix.

There doesn't seem to be any options in the software that inhibit the wheel from moving like that. I would guess its a hardware issue, maybe something is stuck or broken. Perhaps opening it up could help you find out (if it doesnt void the warrantythat is, if it does then contact customer service)

Yep, the bike must be in motion with the pedals moving. This is pretty much true of all dérailleur systems. Enjoy! I still have mine and though I've had to make small adjustments, it still rides great.

I bought these pedals and the first thing I did was to take the bearings out and add grease. When I first got them one of the pedals was tight and made noise. Adding grease seemed to help. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same issue now after about 11 months of having the bike. Any help would be great!

Hello, I had no problem with mine, I think yours has some kinda electric problem, did u get extended warranty? If not call Schwinn I am sure they can help you what to do.

Yup. I assume your bike has a flip-flop hub, just take your wheel off and toss it on the other side.

I think I know what you are asking. This bike has a flip flop hub. That means that it can be set to a free wheel where you can coast w/o pedaling. If you flip the hub, it becomes a fixed gear. That means that when the back wheel rotates, the pedals rotate. Does that answer you question?
