do you like the speed and action of the foot pedal? Is it reactive and fast or sluggish?

Speed and action were good. I've tried the Gibraltar cajon pedal and the action was terrible -- there was a major delay between stepping on the pedal and the beater moving. Unfortunately, with this ChromaCast pedal, the cable frayed and has almost snapped after only ONE gig and very little use overall. I've tried contacting ChromaCast for a replacement cable with no response from them, and both Amazon and DPS (the only dealers who are listed on the ChromaCast website) both say "out of stock" on the cable. Action and functionality don't matter when parts break immediately.

They work great as spd pedals. Long rides with out latching on is uncomfortable , but it works fine on short rides but it takes getting use to if you keep stepping on the wron side

Very good for commuting...I would not say fast, but smooth for sure. Make sure you adjust the bearings and trucks to your taste, they are a bit tight from factory settings.

Well, the pedals don't move unless you make them. The only time I really need to pedal is sometimes on a steep uphill climb or when the battery pack runs low.

Yeah its smooth. Just dint use it in single digit weather the foot holds will crack

I only tried it once many years ago and it was boring. You can hardly notice it change. But try it and see. Any form of movement will effect it, but it was built for machine movement I believe. Not reading the prior posts I answered the request. My model is quite old and if it has a pedestrian mode, I don't know it. Will check further, but being unable to walk any great distance, do not need the feature. Will try and find the booklet and update it in my mind.

Nope you did it correct. Speed is controlled by the main box. The foot pedal is for the convenience of not having to turn the drill on and off.

I don't have any problem with mine... It work great for me... One of the best pedal so far...

I notice the drag when I'm pushing the bike, but I haven't noticed any difference in my average speed or exertion levels. If you intend to do most of your riding at under 10mph, it wont do well for for any of the newer Android or iPhone power hogs. Maybe for the older ones, but I don't know.

Speed is controlled with a rotor dial on the top.. I'm not sure about a foot pedal

how fast can you pedal? there is a knob to control resistance. The beauty of this machine it is quiet it has resistance not a huge fan with wind noise.

The adjustment on the machine is quite fine. At one extreme you end up nearly running and at the other you just walk quite quickly. The mechanism is "contact free", i.e. moving parts don't rub against each other and probably don't wear out.

Multiple options vs single options and longer loop times. I own both pedals and love them.

It actually is decent, but I can't tell much of a difference between the resistance levels. Not exactly the smoothest pedaling bike though. Can definitely tell it is a cheaper model

Its a tough pedal. I live on an island so, there is really not much in the way of hills but, even small/short hills can be somewhat tough.

Yes the ride is smooth. I did have to secure the rubber tips with gorilla glue to keep them in place when pedaling on carpet, but overall there were no problems with the equipment.

Hi Dorthi,My 96 year old Auntie uses the pedaler without it being even plugged in because she pedals too fast for the motor! However, I believe if you tape your shoes to the pedals so they will stay engaged with the pedals that you CAN use the pedaler without having to exert your own muscles to pedal. The Automatic pedaler should continue to circle without having to use muscle power. I am going to her home this morning, and I will try that myself and let you know for certain if that works or not. I will get back to you before noon this morning. I think it is a great asset to her exercising. Thank you for your question.
