I noticed there were no handles on the sides, does this make walking on the treadmill more difficult?

A little, yes. To hold onto the bar, you are slightly slumped forward. What I do is place one hand on the wall so that I can stand up straight.

Yes. You can unscrew the knob that you loosen to flip the handles up with all the way and put the handle assembly on the other side. Haven't done it, but that's what the instructions said.

I'm 6'2"; but, I never use the handle. You should not hold the handle on treadmills; because, it harms the effectiveness of the workout. Holding the handle can cut the calories burned significantly. The handle is for grabbing in safety situations.

Basically yes, just need to slid handles on. I love my 3 wheeler (that's what I call it) I'm planing on walking in 5k marathon using it. You can't go wrong purchasing one.

There's no way you'd be able to play video games while walking on a manual treadmill. You have to hold on to the handles or you'll go flying off. You'd be better off saving up for a regular treadmill if you really want to have hands-free walking.

I bought a different kind at a close hardware store, they didn't have handles. What a pain to move. I was very happy when I found the Smartpots, they have handles and are very nicely made.

Yes, it has a tread on the bottom.They don't recommend walking in it though.It's like walking with a cast on your foot.I found this product to be too uncomfortable for me, threw it in the closet and bought a different model which is easier to wear but has less support.

No. Some minor assembly is required. You assemble the legs of the ramp, attach the digital display with screws and the bar that goes on top needs to be screwed onto the treadmill.

I feel the bar is used to keep the side panels in place to act as a guide to protect the dog from falling off, sideways. Those panel guides are necessary when a dog begins using the treadmill. Perhaps later they could be removed along with the bar, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you stood by and supervised the dog at all times.

No handles and i bought steps for mine. Handles would have been a nice addition as well as a stronger pump. I think you could attach handles, but then you could not cover the unit.

It took me about 90 min to put together so it does take some time. The directions were pretty easy to follow but there were a lot of nuts, bolts etc. So a lot of the time was used seperating all of the pieces. I will say I had a hard time putting on the handle grip. I was unable to fully slide it on, so I just pushed it as far as it would go. It has been like that since I had the treadmill, which is about 8 months or so, and I have had absolutely no problems. For the price its a great treadmill.

It was very easy. Some of the screws came screw in already. You just had to unscrew those, connect the handle piece and screw back the screws. For me, I had to get help for holding one side of the handle as I screw in the other side of the handle. It was the the handle you had to connect and one screw behind the monitor thing. Oh and some plastic stuff for the corners of treadmill but those snap into places.

Sorry but no, because it mounts with screws. If you had a wooden surface or similar material on your treadmill that you could attach it to, than by all means go ahead, but unless you have a place to mount it with screws, you cannot

Excellent Question. NO. We brought ours into the spare bedroom in pieces and then assembled it. Be sure to buy the pad if you do. This treadmill is HEAVY.

I checked the schematics on their site for dimensions and took the dimensions with me to shop for a treadmill. My panel is completely clear of the desk. On the down side, I didn't think a padded treadmill that important. I was wrong. Hours of walking requires a padded deck on the treadmill.

Yes. As noted by others, the back of the treadmill platform folds up and foward between the handlebars where it locks in place with the pin that is barely visible on the left handle support in the picture. When folded up, the footprint is 28 inches wide (not counting a half inch cap that sticks out on either side) and 23 1/2 inches deep.
