Mine pedals backwards also. Were you able to get in contact with customer service to resolve?

try flipping the switch on the bottom that says throttle it should reverse it

Yes,you can pedal backwards. There's also resistance as you pedal backwards

I don't think switching the wirse will make it reverse. Don't know how to slow it down. Sorry

I'm glad you asked. Nothing led me to believe it had both options but because you asked, I just went downstairs to check... and... it does. It braked when I put the pedal in reverse.

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.

yep. Not hand brakes, but the kind that when you pedal backward they are activated

On the first try, I accidentally had the fork turned around backwards. Make sure it's facing the right direction (look at the decals). That was the only problem I had. Hope this works for you!

I'm having the same issue now after about 11 months of having the bike. Any help would be great!

i think you have it "backwards". Just gently un-bolt the sides and swap them. That should do it!

Are you sure the gear is not broken. Check if you can move the lever backwards and forwards. If you can the try tightening the screw in its housing. If it does not work seek advice from the manufacturer.

And little kids pedal backwards, too. Fisher Price, we would think you'd know a thing or two about little kids. It's within the developmental norms of the recommended ages to pedal backwards, either as an experiment or because they're figuring it out. It amazes me when the problem is so rampant and the manufacturer takes NO responsibility for its default in the design of the Smart Cycle.

Mine is slightly out of true laterally. Freewheel ready. Just have a chainwhip.

Yes, you can! There is even a reverse train workout that cues you to pedal forwards and backwards at different intervals.

turn the whole bike upside down, i cant remember off the top of my head which side its on, but its a very small hole kind of under where the seat would be, hope that helps. i had a hard time finding mine too.

I can only guess that you installed the bars backwards. Just take it apart and flip glop the bars so that what is on your left place it on the right and viceversa.

it has been about a year so I can't remember too many details...except to say that the two pedals are not both "right-handed" screws on unicycles / bikes (so that they won't automatically loosen w/ use). Try to tighten (by hand!) the other direction. To answer the support question, probably no where available, and I'm not even sure it is "M Wave" b/c ours says "FUN" as the brand!
