Does this exercise peddler have smooth pedaling and is it stable or does the pedaling seem jerky and unstable?

Very smooooooth for me. Try easing up on the tension. This has become an enjoyable daily routine.

Mine was rather jerky in motion even at the lowest tension, but stayed on the floor and didn't wobble or lift off.

Because the tension knob was stripped when I got it, it's very jerky. I believe it's previously used. This company would not fix or replace it. I don't recommend this product.

Seems smooth and not jerky to me but I think it depends on leg strength to begin with. As your leg muscles stretch and get stronger, the pedaling should become less jerky, if jerky is what is happening now.

Don't remember about the peddling - after a few dozen sessions, the metal on metal tensioner made so much noise I threw it out. Also, the counter quit after about two sessions and the whole unit crawled away from the chair when using on my carpeted floor. Piece of junk. Save your money.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though.

Smooth feel when resistance changes. There does seem to be a lag when you manually change the resistance through the up and down buttons but it's still smooth. The flywheel is a little over 17 lbs. In my opinion, this bike won't stand up to heavy use. The seat alone seems like it isn't sturdy enough for heavy workouts over time.

The Weider 200 Power Tower is not a very sturdy exercise machine especially when you are doing the dip excercises. It shakes when your doing the dips but not enough to make you fall. Otherwise it is a good exercise machine. :)

It is very stable. I did not take it on rocky roads because I could not walk on uneven ground, I would take it very slow. It has a wide wheel base and I never felt like it might tip. It was a life saver for me when I grocery shopped or went to the hospital for physical therapy. I have since recovered enough that I do not need it anymore. BUt I think it is the best walker on the market.

I wish there was a little more resistance in the pedal up and down movement. The unit is light weight, and made of plastic, but I've given it a lot of pounding without any trouble. And dropped it a couple of times.

I would say it is smooth and requires some torque to move it. A bit stiffer than I thought it would be but not to the point being unhappy. After some use I didn't and do not really notice it. Definitely stiffer than my 18-200.

I primarily bought the bike for its size. Its handling on trails is good. The tires are sturdy enough for me; I weigh 250lbs. I was never worried about the tires slipping. Replacing the inner tubes is the only think that I don't like about the tires.

My grandson is riding it very well and has been since his second birthday. I think he will be ready for a bicycle before he needs pedals. This little balance bike is very well built. The regular bike will come for my little guy's third birthday late November.

It has given me an excellent workout. So far I've only used it on the lower resistance levels (1-3). After the first few days, every muscle in my legs got sore. The resistance goes up to 8, and I aspire to one day being fit enough to do most my workout at this level. You also 'get out of it what you put into it.' If you peddle faster, at higher resistance levels, you'll definitely get a good work out. Mine is very stable , but I only use it on carpet or a rug. However, I'm only 5'5" and 135 pounds, and ride for about a half hour everyday. If one weighed 200 lbs. or over, and wanted to ride much more than that, I'd invest in a heavier, more expensive bike.

Yes, Laura. The unit has a wide range. At the lowest level, there is just about zero resistance and it is very easy to pedal. The adjustments increments are small, so she resistance can be added just a little bit at at time -- if that is desired.

It is really smooth. It's awesome on wood floors and with the soft poly urathane tires it doesn't damage the floor. On sidewalks it's good and streets too. If the surface is level there are good times to be had but this is scary going downhill and uphill is impossible.

Absolutely. I think I'm in pretty good shape, and biking at a resistance level of 5 is burning my legs after about 10 minutes. This thing is really smooth. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Yes! I follow a spin class app while using mine, and there is a lot of out of the saddle work in the program, so I stand and ride quite a bit. No stability issues with the bike so far. I've had it a couple of months.

yes. it does ride smoothly. I thought it would be 3 spd, but it works well for my purposes.

Seems stable to me. I must say, I love mine. My son saw and used my KAVAJ, and bought one for himself. Enjoy it.

It glides easily. It doesn't like a lot of movement though, unless you don't mind endlessly tightening the nuts.
