While we love the versatility that this connected bike provides, it doesn’t seamlessly integrate with either Peloton or Zwift. Yes, it does connect to either app easily , and it works; it’s just far from perfect. First, we noticed that the speed and distance readings on the bike’s own display seemed too high; in fact, they were way off. We like to think we huffy beach cruiser are fast, but we also know that we average mph on an actual road ride, not even close to the 27 mph the IC4 recorded. If you base your indoor training rides on speed, distance, or calories burned, this bike will not be giving you accurate readings. Likewise, with Zwift, it has an exceptionally high power output reading that makes you seem superhuman.

I chose to put the bike together myself but you can add assembly for under $150 if you want to save yourself the hassle. Although not very time consuming , the instructions were not the easiest to follow. Even though the guide only mentioned three steps to complete assembly, each step seemed to include multiple other directions. The instructions could have been laid out in a more palatable way to make building the bike easier. While it’s a little heavier than some similar models , the transporting wheels make it easy to move around a room or put into storage. Double link pedals with SPD and toe-clip combination help to ensure a comfortable and secure fit while pedaling.
They also take up less floor space than other bikes, which is a definite plus if your space is already cramped. This one is also suuuper budget-friendly but still equipped for streaming with speakers, a charging port, and a tablet holder. While none of Schwinn’s bikes have bougie built-in tablets, every model costs less than $1,000 — and some are made for streaming fitness with Bluetooth speakers and app connectivity .
The Schwinn IC4 offers users a quality cycle at a reasonable price. We appreciate this versatility and the high-quality exercise experience it provides. It also comes loaded with features like hand weights, bottle holders, a wireless heart rate band, and dual-function pedals.
