Is the bike belt driven?

No the bike is not belt driven. The pedals are attached directly to a weighted and balanced flywheel. The resistance is applied magnetically. Very smooth and quiet.

Hi-It is not belt driven from what i can tell- the pedals are attached directly to the flywheel. When i assembled the bike and looked at the flywheel it appears to be electronically monitored, I didnt see any belts

It does actually have a belt. The belt wraps around a large plastic pulley/flywheel which the pedals are attached to. From there it wraps around another pulley and to the Eddy Current Resistor and the heavier flywheel (which is part of the ECR). It is a good quality belt and will last for as long as the bike does. If it does break replacements can be purchased for it (this site also shows the location of the belt): http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/schwinn-parts/exercise-cycle-parts/8001999/0006/522/Model-SCHWINN270/3266/1307200?keySuffixId=&pathTaken=partSearch&pathRender=modelComponent&documentCompId=50043203&diagramPageId=00002&productTypeId=&searchModelNumber=SCHWINN270&subCompDesc=Wheel%20assy&brandDesc=SCHWINN&modelDesc=JOURNEY%202.5&blt=11&shdMod=&keyId=38

sorry for the late response-was out of town. the back is a loop that the belt passes through. hope this helps!

yes but oddly, through the back belt strap. It works but not great. Belt is better, or just loop the belt like a bandoleer.

No. I've never had that problem. But bikes can tend to swing when you're driving on highway. As long as you secure your pedals you'll be ok.

It has metal gears on drive belt. Outside housing is nylon or plastic. Pulley wheels for belt are metal

I have never used a bike with the carbon blue belt drive system but am very happy with the chain drive. I use my bike almost daily over the last 6 months and it is holding up well.

Yes, and I love this bike! It's a great piece of exercise equipment. I ride 12 miles per day on it, it's been great.

I believe it is belt driven. A gear drive is usually reserved for larger machines.

Yes. It's easy to adjust. Might be a little warm for all the time use though. It is a good quality belt.

Yes. The bike takes the place of the front wheel. The wheel is for walking or running.

No. This is belt driven. I weigh 190 and have had to change the belts 2 x's. I would not recommend the board for anyone over 200lbsIts a great board just made for someone 150 or less

No. This bike comes with regular pedals. Very ordinary and cheap pedals, in fact.

Yes, you have to turn the knob on the trainer that is mounted to the back wheel so it does require getting off the bike.

Sort of, no timing belt it is transferred directly with gears but everything else is legit.

It is a chain drive which is what I started on 15 years ago. I actually like a chain drive better. Maybe because that's what I'm used to. They have belt driven at Snap Fitness and the only difference to me is the chain drive are noisier.

The disc is probably turning at 1750 rpm. There is an adjustment on the side of the table to adjust the belt

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.
