After further research, the answer is no. Both cranks turn at the same rate, so either both riders are pedaling or both are coasting. Only on certain more expensive tandem bikes can one rider pedal while the other rider is coasting (e.g. a da Vinci brand tandem which costs thousands of dollars).

The pedals have to move (or rest) together, they are directly connected by the chain.

There is a push button switch on the right handle bar. When it's pushed in it's in pedal assist, when it's out it is in manual.

Yes. I separated my batteries for one to crank the motor and one to run house accessories. When the motor starts, the cranking battery gets charged first, then when 13.2 volts or so are reached the relay turns on and charges the house battery. At this point both batteries are being charged at the same time. My boat has a 70amp alt on it and the system works great. Pain to install but well worth it. Hope this helps. ~ Robert

Yes, you can. The motor has its own drive sprocket. The bike will use pedal power, to start the motor. Or if the motor is in neutral you can pedal the bike like usual. Bike.

It has both a fixed gear cog, meaning the pedals are always in motion if the bike is moving, and a freewheel cog, meaning the rider can coast without the pedals rotating. Each is installed on opposing sides of the rear wheel hub. Hope that answers your question.

I installed my pump with a three way switch.....on, off, automatic. That way I can leave it on auto when I leave the boat at the slip or when sailing, but can switch to manual when I want to check that the bilge is thoroughly cleared out.

In my experience, this unit will not successfully operate more than one train at a time. You can indeed switch back and forth, but it is a complex and awkward proceedure. While one train remains running at the speed you set, you can operate the other. Unless you have a very big layout, this leaves one engine running by itself while you address the other one. Lionel's TMCC and MTH's DCC are much easier to use.

Is it possible that they used to have this awesome and obvious amazing feature, and discontinued it in the newer model? When I walk at an adult's pace now, my toddlers little legs have to work like crazy to stay on the pedals. But we used to have one almost identical (the handle bars didn't join in the middle) that would click but let the kid rest her feet on the pedals without moving...

I don't think most balance bikes have a foot rest. I think in fact it would be dangerous as it would prevent the child from being able to stop himself quickly enough, as the feet serve as brakes on a balance bike. My son just picks up his feet when he is coasting. It is not as though a kid young enough to be using a balance bike will be likely to coasting for long enough for that to be a problem. Also, since the feet also serve in the place of pedals, they need to put them down to keep going. I would recommend looking for a video of a kid using a balance bike--it wasn't until I saw some other kids using theirs that I realized how much they can really do on them.

I don't think you could. They can still turn the handlebars, and there's a little give in the steering, so it would be hard to do two at once. Every so often my son pulls the handlebars and goes veering off while I'm pushing him (usually into my husband).

I always use mine without the foot pedal. The only difference is you have to manually turn it on and off, but that has not been an issue for me. Plus, it works great!

It is difficult (if not impossible) to ride the Jetson like a bicycle when the assist is not engaged. I had my Jetson for about one week when the electric drive stopped working while I was riding it. The literature leads you to believe that you can pedal without the assist. However, as you noted the bike is very heavy. I personally was not able to ride the Jetson without the electric assist (except for short distances going downhill). The Jetson is really more like a scooter/moped than a bicycle.

No - you don't ever have to pedal if you don't want to. If you pedal you don't use as much battery.

Did I say this? I don't know about two person installation on a snorkel. I do know that I would not have been able to learn the breaststroke without it. My breathing on the stroke without the snorkel came after I figured out the stroke timing and was doing the kick correctly. I still use it occasionally to work on my kick. Great product!

No - we pedal together. I thought this would be difficult but it is actually easy. We have really enjoyed this bike and are hoping to take it on longer tours this spring.

It will not when you pedal. It will make that sound only when you just push the tricycle without actually pedaling..

Hitting the mode button should cycle between 'km/h' and 'mph' every time you press the button. I assume you are doing this after pushing the "All Clear" button, and if so, sounds like your unit isn't working properly. Only other thing I can think of is make sure the battery is good. I have three of these units by the way, on 3 bikes. Just replaced one that turned itself off in mid-ride and close to impossible to start up again.
