Can the arms and feet pedals work desperately?

I am presuming there was a "typo" and you are asking can the arms and foot pedals work "separately"? No, when you move the foot pedals, the arm handles move also (regardless if your arms are on the arm handles) conversely, if you move the arm handles the foot pedals move regardless if your feet are on the foot pedals. My husband said it can be assembled without the arm handles and it will work.

Yes you can but because the surface area of the pedal is small it is difficult to keep your feet on the pedal. On a bumpy road it is not comfortable

I think so, although we bought them for our 2 1/2 yr old grandson's Big Wheel. They still didn't allow his feet to reach both pedals, but that wasn't the blocks' fault.

They work great as spd pedals. Long rides with out latching on is uncomfortable , but it works fine on short rides but it takes getting use to if you keep stepping on the wron side

It runs automatically for 15 minutes without having to push the pedals, but keeping the feet in the pedals and the legs straight would be a problem I think. For use with a partially paralyzed man, I have to place it up against a wall so it doesn't move all over the floor, use a gait belt around his thighs to keep his legs from splaying, and it takes awhile to get his feet secure in the pedals. They still slip out on occasion. Shoes and barefoot didn't work, so we use slippers. It's not an easy set-up.

The pedals are not fixed directly to the crank, these are on sliders that glide freely. There is no manual adjustment required, the forward & backward lateral movement of the pedals will just conform to your stride.

Actually, I found that a previous suggestion of holding your feet parallel to the floor when strapping in was a big help. Sure, the pedals could use a redesign, but its nice to have an easy work around.

no, you do not have to use the foot pedal to make it work. It will work without it.

My son is about that height and he can touch them but not push them all the way around, but he gets around on it just fine by "walking" it with his feet. He should be able to use the pedals soon.

Yes, you can feather the pedal. Throttle control is excellent, especially compared to a controller button!

The pedals are well built and attach through the case body. Our only issue is with the interior chain slipping because we do not live where there are sidewalks. Our terrain is rather uneven and challenges both driver and chain.

I don't see any harm, it's totally worth a shot. It's not very big either so stores nicely in a corner or closet. It has a smooth variable resistance setting so you can go slow for strength or easy and fast for cardio. You will need to by the handles for arm style separately but they are worth it & make sure to place it on a steady table at proper height to get most out of it. I actually sit on a pillow because my table is tall for me. I have never used the foot pedals, not sure how good of a work out you will get from that?? The Arm Bike style is the way to go in my opinion. Hope this helps!

Not really. I had to adjust the strike distance of the pedals to hit the pad at all.

Hello Barbara,Yes you can pedal with resistance, either way. I am in a wheelchair and use mine everyday. Really it has worked out great for me.

Only if you take the arms off. I cannot use the foot pedals because they will not stay tight so they come apart. This chair was really made for a small person. My son is a big guy.

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

The hand wringer is as affective as the foot pedal. My assumption is that even being one system/device for both, it works differently. I just checked mine by watching close while spinning both ways. It was an independent spinn-off. Also the pedal is very sturdy. The pedal will never deteriorate and break if you keep that part away from water with an average use.
