It seems like the pedals are always spining. Is there any way that i could let the bike roll under hill without moving the pedals?

Well the bike comes in "fixed" mode when shipped. Flip the rear wheel to other side in order to use the "freewheel" side of the hub

flip the wheel to the other side and that should be the free wheel side. make sure that your bike has 2 gears 1 on each side.

The tires have good traction, so it pedals uphill and downhill well, but it is a tough work-out on little legs. I also would keep it on even terrain; tricycles have a weird center of gravity that I don't fully understand. But, if they turn the trike too fast, try and cut a corner too close, the inside wheel loses surface contact. If they are riding over uneven surfaces, I think it would make it unsteady/unstable. We keep ours on the sidewalks, and inside the house.

There are levers above the rear wheels. You rotate them so that the rear wheels do not move. These serve as brakes, and you set them manually.

Try removing one pedal first if you can't do it buy the pedals and take it to a bike shop I doubt they would charge more than 10 dollars to put them on for you.

I've tried alternating bikes front/back, etc. and strapping them tightly. It seems impossible to prevent any rubbing so I will also use a towel, etc. in between spots. Good luck!

I think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes you tighten the bolt at the bottom. What I did is tighten the bolt a lot the just switched gears for the resistance. That way I wasn't getting on and off the bike

Mine works fine...but I just leave it on high and shift the bike from gear to gear. Sorry I have no solution other than that.

did not experience this problem with this bike. Good bike, well worth the price. It is worth taking to a bike shop and have them put everything in good working order. Shop tuned up brakes, gears and tightened wheel spokes.

Hi Jessica. I had a minor problem with mine and returned it to the current manufacturer, Saris Cycling group. They were very helpful and prompt in resolving the problem. The contact info is at this link: http://www.sariscyclinggroup.com/contact-us/ .

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

Same problem here - I love the problem with your bike comment...mor pressure on the tire is not the solution. Every other Mag trainer I have seen has a resistance adjustment. Basically on the highest gear it is just getting enough resistance, and then the rear wheel is moving the equivalent of 30+ MPH... will return.

start on the top of the pedal and work it around. a little silicone may help.

what you are suppose to do is continuously pump the pedal it will spin as long as you push it you dont just push it then stop you keep pushing it and it will continue to spin

The wheels are not locked so you can roll it. But I find it not the most convenience way to maneuver. I hope this help and good luck. I like the bike a lot given the affordable price.

If you adjust the tension knob down it will be easier. If still too hard, I loosened the strap on the front wheel. That helped more. It will move freely and go as fast as you make it.

I also need help with the stripped pedal. It has fallen off. I need to get this fixed soon. I use the bike every day.
