How do you stop on it? Can your foot get stuck?

either jump off of it or incline the cycle forword let the cycle hit the ground, dam straight it can get stuck if you dont react quickly before falling.

You cannot stop....there is no brake. It's like a skateboard...you have to slow down or jump off. Your foot can get "caught" if you fall forward. It's not an easy device....if you get the hang of the balance, you dont really have an issue with your foot getting caught, but it happens while learning. You don't want your foot jammed into it...the front of you ankle should NOT touch when you put your feet in...you "balance" on it. Only the soles of your feet should touch the skate cycle....if that makes sense.

It is very difficult to ride and stop. I don't think your foot would get stuck

You can if you need to stop and rest I think it would be very hard to move around on it as there is no place to put your injured foot.

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

No, it doesn't have a brake but you can stop it. Easiest/surefire way to stop (and sometimes easier for kids) is to just put both feet out on the ground "Flintstone" style. Or, you can turn the steering wheel perpendicular to the direction of travel for a skid (hockey style) stop. Or you take your foot off the accelerator and spin to a stop.

I don't think you can, or would, push it past the stops. I have shorter legs, about a 30" to 31" inseam, and I can hit the stops. I also have extremely powerful legs and could press far more than this machine can accommodate. So my point is, keep in mind that this is a good machine, but think lighter weight, more reps, and don't expect it to be like a serious high-end gym machine. It is a great home piece.

You do not have keep your foot on it to keep it turned on. Just press once to turn on and again to turn it off.

It is an on/off switch that you operate with your foot. It is not momentary.

Jane... No it does not have a stop- you have to tie it off or as they say in sailing terms- belay it.

trust me on this, I was skeptical, and the customer service representative had to talk me into it, you need to remove the stand from the computer and force it into the second position, it is difficult, but it wont break, I suggest placing the stand on the floor and using your foot as a brace, you wont have to do this ever again though.

Get on off a dock or boat out of water if u fall off is very hard, just bend your feet regarding your question

Do not press down on it when using. Just insert behind heel and hold in that postion

You can pop it out or just rotate the. So that you do not lose the foot pegs.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

The foot rest is stationary. You may use it to push on & turn yourself around

Please be advised that shoes are a great help and keep your feet firmly planted. The locking device only secures you to the table without slipping out where you may sustain an injury if you did not properly adjust the table. If you lay back and immediately go down, you need to adjust the table where it takes a little nudge to get you going back.

It's button start. Button is on the bottom, you can just click it off your leg.

Not at all. Stepping on the peddle clips it in and a twist of the foot unclips it. Just make sure the clips on the shoe are tight. Carry an Allan wrench and every once in a while make sure that they do not get loose. If they get loose then the twisting will make the clip move and not release from the peddle.
