Is it good for short people, and does it also go backwards?

The machine can be peddled backwards but I am not sure about the electronic info. I don't pay attention.

It depends upon how short the user is. I would say that anyone under five feet or so (I'm 5'10") would need a shorter setting than is available on the machine. The storage setting is a possibility, as my girlfriend's stepson is able to use it, albeit all scrunched up, on that setting; he's about 4'6". The pedals *do* go backwards, but I don't know if the speedometer/odometer work properly. The tensioner works in either direction.

I'm 5'2" and don't have a problem with the pedals but have a problem with the seat. It is too long and the back of my thighs hit it as I pedal. Don't know if this is due to my height though. Yes, it does go backwards and the monitor tracks it as well.

I am 5 feet also, and it works fine for me. I do have it set on the shortest adjustment, so someone under 5 feet might have a problem.

Hello, Yes the back pad/rest does telescope (yes, it tilts backwards) - Yes it it more than suitable for a person that is 6'4. The only time it gets a little uncomfortable is for people 6'7 plus. Hope this helps, and if you end up getting it, I will throw in a commercial equipment mat for you along with the water bottle and exercise. bag. Thanks again and let me know if you have any questions... Paul Taulton, BodyDesign Fitness Products

Yes you can go reverse but it doesn't have a lot of resistance if you go backwards

It is not that short. Except if you are a big guy. I have 1.80 meters and it is ok for me. Ps: I'm not using the keyboard section of the table. Maybe if you will use it , it will be kind of short.

It depends I suppose on how tall you are but the back of the chair does easily go up and down. I am 5'4', at the lowest setting, it supports my head well. My husband is 5'8" and weraised it all the way up and it supports his head well. The pedals on this chair work really easily so finding your perfect comfort is easy.

I don't think so, my sister in law is short not that short though and she likes it. I got mine and I'm short 5' 2", but I give it away because it hurt my hips. I have back problems and thought it might help, but made it worse. The ball inflates to what ever size you like as well as hardness, but it was not for me. Audrey

yes, it would be perfect for a short person when set at the lowest hole to make it as short as possible.

No, I'm 5'3" and it works great. Almost too low so should be perfect for you

Yes it will work perfectly well for tall people. That way, the distance of the handles will be more appropriate for your size. Get this stroller. I've had it for for more than 3 years and we are still using it.

No, mine goes backward just fine. I just went for a 3 mile (one legged) jog with mine and it handles great.

Yes, it will work for a short person as the arms articulate and pivot at three different points. It works for both mouse and keyboard, as I have two, one for each arm. The height of the pad is also adjustable, so that will help if you are shorter as well.

I just tried this bike, and didn't buy it because it doesn't go far enough for people as short as me. I am 4'11" and the bike didn't go far enough -- as Anita also said, you'd have to cut the adjustment bar and drill a new hole for the peg to make the bike work for someone shorter than 5'.

good question! it is adjustable to go longer but my husband likes his short, it easily adjusts to under a half inch!

If you stand far enough away from it or are less than 11 inches tall, then yes, it will suit that purpose but only if you are upside down and backwards.

It has three locking position heights. So it should work for most people unless you are very very tall

This is a fine bike for short people. It is one of the best exercise bikes I have ever ridden. I am 5"1'--and a friend of mine who is a bit shorter recently bought this model and tells me it works for her too.
