Is the seat stable? Compared to other bikes at sears the mount for the seat is narrower than other bikes. Seat wobbled &amp; noisy when test rode.

The seat on my bike is very steady and does not wabble. I have very comfortable seating and this bike is the best I have ever used. I am on it over 100 miles a week and it is great

I weigh 290 and I've ridden it for 45 min. around a fairly hilly neighborhood. I'm very satisfied with it's ride time. I did put the hill climb kit on mine because of my size.the frame is sturdy and I've hit some pretty good bumps in the road with no damage. I would recommend that you check it over after every 3-4 hours of riding just to make sure the suspension hardware is tight. I did notice a couple fasteners that had loosened up.

Yes, this bike works very well. I have not had any issues. Very stable and dependable.

My wife's bicycle hanging just fine. Little crooked but stable. Same with my son's mounting bike

My first response I mistakenly referred to my older daughters bike. My four ft tall daughter who rides this one has it at lowest..about 25.5 in from ground..ample room..but she won't let me raise it. A piece that fits in between the wheel which gives wheel clearence to move freely seems defective..that wheel sometimes gets stuck dragging. It was hard to assemble. We also positioned/rotated handlebars to the back..it comes pre set forward and its an easy adjustment.

The schwinn Searcher is a sturdy bike, I purchased it for my wife who is 5'5" and 135lbs. I believe it will be more than adequate for someone of those dimensions only because I did have to lower the seat in order for her to stand while not moving and lower the handle bar position as well. With these adjustments I believe you will have a great ride with the Schwinn Searcher.

I think this will work fine for you. My wife has the same measurement and she can ride it fine. I love the bike . You cannot beat it for the price. i did take it to the bike shop for a tuning after I bought it. No problems. Very comfortable.I am 5'9" w/ 29" inseam. I have plenty of room.

It was difficult for me to get on and off due to seat height and my limited range of motion, so it felt wobbly when getting on and off. Eventually used a step stool. However, once on the bike, it was very stable.

Depends on how tall you are and how much you weigh. This bike is not a robust as some would lead you to believe in the reviews. I question it's stability except for the smallest persons

I got this seat for my schwinn frontier mountain bike, and it fit really well. It seems like a pretty standard seat as far as fit it concerned. It would come loose for a few weeks here and there, but since taking my bike in to get the derailers adjusted and the seat tightened (Since I did 20 times and it was still coming loose), it hasn't budged at all. Its a really good seat for the price in my opinion, and I bet it would fit your huffy just fine :)

I tried the bike out before I gave it to my daughter. I think the gears are a bit hard to change. I thought it may have just been from my weight being on the bike. My daughter has never complained though.

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.

Everything was easy xcept the seat. Help! How do you put together? I feel like there are too much hardware on a tiny screw that holds together with a but but not to me. Help! I just got this bike I cannot figure it out. There's a seat separate hardware and somehow you stick the hardware in the seat and attach the seat slider....how?????

After assembling it, I took my bike to my local bicycle shop to get everything tightened/adjusted. Several things were loose, like the gears, front brakes squeak, etc. That's what I would suggest.

I've rode mine as much as almost 30 miles. But I replaced my seat. So did my husband. I have had mine for 5 years plus and replaced it with a 12 inch wide seat....might look silly when my hiney ain't on it but oh so comfy. Got my husband a big 12 incher too. We are getting old and it's those skinny seats that hurt ya'. You can adjust the bike's height so I could ride mine many many more miles. They are smaller wheels but that doesn't seem to bother me at all or my husband.

I personally own this bike, and weigh over 300lbs. I did have a problem with it right after I bought it though. The first time riding it I was going up a small hill and the chain popped. I don't mean just came off the sprocket, I mean sheared in half. I simply brought it to a bike shop and had then put on a better quality chain. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I use it on the street, and even take it off road sometimes.

My husband and I love this bike. It's easy to put together and the quality goes well beyond the price. That being said, I don't think this bike would accomodate 350 lbs. The bike is quite lightweight. We had it on carpet at first and it sat really nicely. Once we moved it to the hardwood floor I realized that most of the weight is supported by the small black peg in the center of the bottom bar. I adjusted the back "feet" and the center peg, but I don't think this was meant for that much weight. If you can find a slightly higher quality recumbent bike that would be best. I hope this helps.
