can you pedal standing to simulate extreme uphill?

Yes! .. I have done this. However, you have to be careful. The "Flywheel" is heavy and will continue forward motion when you want to stop pedaling. Practice slowly until you feel comfortable in doing that exercise. Tension can be adjusted on the flywheel.

The highest point reached at mid-pedal is 18", but you really couldn't get yourself 18 inches off the ground, because even if you were trying to straighten out your knee, at that point, the pedal is descending as you take weight off the other foot. It doesn't operate the same way a bicycle pedal does. After experimenting, I managed to top my standing height by 14 inches. Add two for peace of mind and you've got 16" max. (I should note that I had to really work to get myselt that high - I was going like sixty!)

no foot pedals are 10inches off the ground minimum and as you pedal on the machine you will rise up and down making it extremely difficult not to hit your head.

i have pedaled standing on this and it is geometrically wrong, since the seat further behind the pedals. it can do it but its not really made for it

It's not up and down per se, it can be I'd you make the pitch of the stride steep. I like it on 4 with 2 for resistance. Irs very smirk and your quads will look great!

It is a seven speed, so going up hill isn't that bad. I don't have any steep hills, where I ride, so don't know what its like if you need to stand up to peddle. Going down hill is free wheeling, so you need to brake to slow down.

The bike can hand let it. But I must warn you. I am 5'8.I am just able to stand on the ground flat footed. I don't think you will be able to touch the ground.

Yes you can but only out to about 100-200 meters. You cannot adjust for elevation.

I leave the pedals out, and so when there's a draw on power up a very steep hill, I pedal with the throttle going, even with my 11 yr old on the back we get up very steep hills. So, to answer your question the maximum climbing slope is immeasurable with pedals. Without, I've gotten up some good hills no issues always maintain the 20mph

No the resistance and monitor do not work when pedaling backwards. You can still pedal backwards but with no resistance possible.

More like a standing bicycle in terms of the up/down movement, but it is not that pronounced. Definitely not a cross country skiing machine movement back and forth. I just measured the differential between the height variance of the pedals as they move and its about 8" as they pass the mid point. Hope that helps.

I hope I answer the question you intended but my experience is that you just adjust the gears on your bike - It's simply resistance. Your bike will pitch forward slightly when it's on the stand. I hope this helps.

I think you can purchase a foot pedal controller for this machine. just search for it, it should come up

Yes and yes. Pedaling will most significantly impact range during acceleration--particularly from a standstill. If extending range is important to you, I'd suggest pedaling until you get to 8 or 10 mph and then use the motor. That will extend your range greatly. But, its just an awful lot of fun to just use that motor or to pedal and use the motor--its very quick acceleration. Hope this helps

I doubt it. I think that if one did pedal in reverse it would defeat the purpose of the left hand thread on the pedal bolt, and it will keep on loosening.I've had success with it so far. But I'm going to put a bracket or something on the pedals to stop my feet from sliding up.

I find it very difficult to do so. I was very disappointed in this; but, it may be because of my height. Anytime I try to stand on the bike it feels as if it will fall over.

The pedals are about a foot off the ground at their highest position, so it should work, but it will be very close either way.
