How high are the pedals off the ground? I'm considering this for a workout room but our ceilings are low and I want to be sure I can run comfortably.

I'd say about four inches but the stride is around eleven inches. I have nine foot ceilings and when I'm on it I'm probably around 6 feet off the ground (as a five ft seven woman) hope this helps!

I want to say the lowest the pedal comes to the floor is about 2.5 inches or so.

I lived in a single wide trailer when I was using this. I don't have the exact measurements but the ceilings were low and I was able to run comfortably. It doesn't come up abnormally high.

mine are on the ground. Because it broke less than a month after I bought it. Save your money. Trying an exerpeutic. Not flawless...but lasts about 6-9 months 5 days a week.

I don't see any harm, it's totally worth a shot. It's not very big either so stores nicely in a corner or closet. It has a smooth variable resistance setting so you can go slow for strength or easy and fast for cardio. You will need to by the handles for arm style separately but they are worth it & make sure to place it on a steady table at proper height to get most out of it. I actually sit on a pillow because my table is tall for me. I have never used the foot pedals, not sure how good of a work out you will get from that?? The Arm Bike style is the way to go in my opinion. Hope this helps!

The pedals are slanted, but the highest portion is around 22" high. I don't think you would have a problem.

I am 5'10 and my wife is 5'6 and we have it in our basement with a 7 ft ceiling height. I have to use it with my shoes off but my wife can do it with shoes. I will say this that if I get on my tip toes with it on the highest incline I whack my head pretty good. My hair will hit the ceiling on a regular basis on any setting. But like you I really didn't have any other options so I just deal with it. I lean forward a little when using it and haven't had a problem yet. I have been using it for about 3 weeks but I am careful to pay attention to not whacking my head.

We have ours in our second floor bedroom. I have read that if it gets noisy that the wheels can be lubricated. The most important thing that you can do is to purchase the floor mat to protect your floor (a must have for any exercise equipment). Have fun, you are going to love this machine and will be amazed that such a low-impact exercise routine can bring such incredible results!

I think that if you put your foot over the fan it is about 18 to 19 inches. As someone said you can put your feet between the pedals and sit down, which would be about 8 inches. It is a very joint-friendly machine.

We have the se issue. My wife can run on it but I cannot. It's approximately 11 inches above the floor.

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!)

The question is what is your ceiling height. It can be used with any ceiling height, from 8' up to 22' as long as you have the space under it for lower ceilings (8'). Higher ceilings are more challenging over 12' because you would have to use a ladder to get the bicycles down, which could be dangerous without assistance. That being said my customer love their Saris Cycle Glide. - Indy Monster Garage

It depends on the desk and the angle you are setting the stamina Instride at.Truthfully, if your desk has a key board shelf, you will probably have a very close, if not impossible, clearance for the way we use it at our house. If you lowered it to the lowest level, there is a possibility, BUT, the angle will be so shallow that you will probably be pushing the unit more than pedaling it - if you do not have a matt to make sure it does not "run away" from you.

I am 6'4" and I have the seat raised as far as it will go. I believe you will be able to reach the pedals in the lowest settingbut would advise visiting a Schwinn outlet to try a similar model.

The ceiling in that room is exactly 8'. I measured the pads when they are at the lowest incline - and measured 12.5", with 16" at the highest incline. I have been using the machine at about the middle setting for inclines and do not feel cramped. Best of luck.

I have a small "universal" machine in my gym at home. I mounted the loop about 12" above the floor on one of the steel tubes and the hook near the top of the same tube. It works very well at that height.

I am 5' and my ceiling is 7' and I have no problems using this machine. The pedals highest spot is 18 1/2 ". But if you are short you will have problems using the moving arms. I am thinking of taking mine off as I can not use them.

I had the same concern when I bought this machine. Our ceiling in our gym is only 7'6" but I still have more than the width of my hand above my head when I'm on the machine. I'm 5'11". Hope that helps.

I don't think that would work. It is your full weight that is needed to get it going...maybe a pedal machine for under a desk.

If I understand the question, I measured 15 inches off floor to top pedal when at highest position.
