Is there a reason that it seems to consistently run like its set at the lowest tension?

The control is poorly designed and it sticks. If you move the magnetic lever manually closer to the wheel, you can get high tension, if you manually pull it away, you get lower tension, but that's about it.

I felt the same way. Plus things just started falling apart and it was very wobbly. I sent mine back, it really wasn't a good buy.

Sounds like the tension knob or cable that controls it may be broken, when i turn my tension knob to increase tension I feel it even if I only move it from 1 to 2.

I have not had a problem with the tension on my Exerpeutic Treadmill. After I put mine together I adjusted the tension for me, and so far I have not had to adjust it again.

the same thing happens to me! It seems to be when I don't have it pressed tight and apply pressure to unit.

I have the same issue, it takes a little bit of finessing and turning to get it to sit level. It works really well.

It it's not broken, mine does the same thing. I just don't use the lowest setting.

I don't have that problem. There is the right amount of tension to keep it up.

it has a tuner to adjust speed. so when its slightly slow everything feels like slow motion.. or it can become very fast.

It has a minimum tension only, it still requires some effort, like you were using about a 5 lb weight. It was also easier when I held it out at arms length, and used your other hand to stabilize it. I haven't set it any higher and it's been a couple of months.

I love mine, too. I have never had it keep running after I release the button on the bottom.

You might have a defective one. Mine actually stays where it's at. Maybe have them send you a different one?

Mine is the same way... is it supposed to be like this? did you ever get an answer?

My understanding is that the tension should be reduced for lighter users and increased for heavier users. I've never bothered to change mine from the 'factory' setting and it seems to work fine. Also, the tension adjustment must be applied to each band and there are quite a few. This means that it would be impractical (for example) to change the tension between two users sharing the trampoline.

There is an up down button that lets you control the tension. We like the bike, have used it maybe 30 times so far.

It seems like the bigger the load the more the fan runs. It must be temp controlled as the fan goes on and off.

What I can tell you is that it always starts on the lowest speed which is quite slow. After starting, you can set faster speeds as required.

It seems that if pull faster the resistance picks up. Resistance hasn't been an issue

I would recommend having the machine on the lowest setting if you are not a constant exerciser. Then slowly increase the speed little by little until you are comfortable with the results.

I know for each line on the screen there are multiple steps of resistance. So even when the machine reads as one line there might still be some tension placed on the wheel. Try lowering the resistance some more, but if that doesn't work I am not sure what the issue is
