We have a Schwinn 270 recumbent bike that is pausing the workout as if we've stopped peddling. My first thought was that the sensor, or the magnet that the sensor reads, had come loose. I was able to remove the shroud on the front of the exercise bike without removing the peddle, but to actually replace the sensor, the shroud needed to come off.
Since the bike was still fairly new, Schwinn sent us the replacement kit so we could take care of this repair ourselves. The kit included the new sensor, as well as the tool used to remove the peddle from the axle. After removing the peddle, I was able to remove the left shroud and access the sensor. Fishing the wire for the sensor up and down behind the zip ties was probably the hardest part of the whole operation, and even that wasn't very difficult. The old sensor came out, the new one went in, and we were back in business! The entire process probably took 15 min or so.
