Success!! Finally the electronic display arrived for my Schwinn Tailwind, Chris my wonderful husband and hero has wired it up and I'm back on the bike. Have been sharing my son's regular cycle for the last couple of months, so it's great to have my own wheels again. Don't know really what caused...

Hi Alan, the switch is on the handlebar, it has one button for on/off and another to set the assistance level. When the bike fell over, the brake lever outside it got slightly bent, so I think that's where the impact has caused trouble. Thanks for your welcome, Myfanwy

Hi, Myfanwy here from Kerry, Ireland, this is my first time using a forum. I have a Schwinn Tailwind that I bought 18 months ago, I wonder if any:confused:body can help me with a problem. The bike fell over last week and since then the on/off switch doesn't work and I am powerless! It's a heavy...
