Is there a way to get this unit to go less than /5 mph? We want to use it for someone recovering and need it to go very VERY slow...

Yes, you can input both the speed and the incline in 0.5 increments. To clarify, the slowest the treadmill will go is 0.5miles per hour.

It automatically starts workouts at 4mph, but it is adjustable from 0-12 mph.

Yes there was for me, but it will only record speeds at 32kph or 20mph ... contact vender for a instructions

Yes #1speed is slow and low. It does have a faster start speed when initially turned on.I love it

Just leave it at the lowest level of resistance... It's the same as pedaling backwards on a bike... Virtually a free spin with no resistance.

Guess is a product malfunction the machine should maintain the selected speed. The one I owned has no issues of this kind. Should Call customer service for any specific instruction if problem persist suggest to return the product back to them.

If I understand your question, you can make it move a little in 5 second increments. I sometimes hit the remote in pulses to move it to where I want it. It doesn't seem to be an issue. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your question. The speed capability (rpm): Low: 15-20RPM, High: 68-80RPMWarmest,Dorsey D.ActiveForever

Slowing a bit, yes. It has not been greatly noticeable though. Seeing as this was made in China, there can be defects from one unit to another. I would contact seller for a replacement.

In a word, NO! All this device will do is lower the voltage to the motor. Yes, it will slow down, but the rotor slip can cause enough current to destroy the motor. What you need is a variable frequency drive rated for 5 Hp. And note that if you reduce the motor to 50% speed, you also cut the horsepower in half. If you load it fully at half speed, that will wreck the motor too.

Not so well. I put it on a moterized bicycle and after a couple runs at 40 it self destructed. It seemed fine at low speed.

The speed cannot be adjusted. The switch provided is cheaply made! Sometimes the unit will not turn off when you switch to the off position.

I don't believe its designed to put a "speed controller" on it. Its designed to run a that RPM. For a slower speed, I would just put a larger pulley/sprocket on it (the larger the slower). The motor IS reversable. A marine, electric, BOAT LIFT controller, wired correctly into the unit would work fine to reverse it if needed....

It seems quite slow. I am puzzled when they describe it as having 5 speeds because it seems to have just 3. The upside is that it does an incredible job at any of the speeds.

I was having this same issue. It seems like if I accelerate up slower then it doesn't cut out. I tested this by keeping it on my desk, while keeping it down with my hand, and accelerating quickly. It cut out. Then, I re-did the test, accelerating slowly, and it doesn't cut out.

There is no speed adjustment. The speed is controlled by you and how you walk. This is a manual movement and moves when you walks or run on it. U would suggest you walk slower to slow it down. Hope this helps!

I have mine hooked up to a speed control. It works fine. I run it at about 80% speed with no problems.Reduces the noise, too.

No, first off it will slow down in time. Second there is simply not enough kinetic motion to be effective. Get a rotation box instead.
