Is the foot pedal that comes with this machine sturdy for an adult?

Yes, the foot pedal is sturdy enough for adult use. I would say this machine is a bit difficult for kids to use because the rod holding the thread is a bit flimsy so it is more difficult for my kids to use due of the lack of tension on the top thread for the first few stitches.

It is very short, I don't think an adult would be able to ride it.However, it is made of a very sturdy material, so I don't think it would break. The oldest kid around 10 years old, has sat on it without breaking it.

I always use mine without the foot pedal. The only difference is you have to manually turn it on and off, but that has not been an issue for me. Plus, it works great!

It's very sturdy, not a hunk of junk. It feels like it's about as heavy as a stomp box pedal. It's a great unit. Just make sure you use Windows 7 or lower, as they down have a driver for Windows 8 yet. If you use a Mac, no issues. Hope this helps.

Yes it is tall enough for adults! Very good for flat surfaces. Not good for irregular sidewalks.

I bought it for my 7 year old son so he probably wouldn't be as hard on it as an adult. His older brother has used it with no issue. We don't have any problems with it wobbling as it is a pretty sturdy set.

Its different than an outdoor bike in that it doesn't freewheel so your transition has to be done in cadence. The supplied pedals are good quality but they don't take clip in shoes. I tried a hill climb as you described several times, the bike is plenty sturdy but my knees were kind of close to the brake calipers.. No problem getting my heart rate up into zone 4 seated so I'm not going to bother trying those standing sprints.

Yes it's a sturdy machine it is built as you can see from pic, what I would callow to the floor the elliptical motion is not overly long I am not a young person and I feel very comfortable on it it also does nut take up much room check the measurements and imagine it on your floor. I use it while watching tv. Good product for me

The Kicker is not good for potholes or rough roads due to the somewhat small wheels. I have fallen a couple of times from it catching in a uneven sidewalk. I would only recommend the kicker for smaller adults. The frame is plenty sturdy, but the thin contact area on the wheels gets compressed and reduces your rolling distance a lot if you weigh over 165lbs. The size is OK for adults up to 5'9". Taller than that and you have to stoop to ride it, unless you have long arms. With better wheels it would be a great scooter for most adults.

I don't think so. My 3 year old grandaughter was just old enough to pedal it. I'd stick to some thing that glides by their feet on the floor.

No, the foot plate is not long enough for an adult's foot to put the other food behind it. My 11 yr. old Grandson "dangles" his foot in the air when riding it.....

I bought one for my mom last Sep. she just used a few times and the foot broke. I contacted Amazon and they requested me to sent the broken one back and sent a new one to me. Hope it helps.

Nadia I think quite honestly unless you are a professional cyclist you will not out pedal this machine. There is a resistance knob which controls the effort in pedaling.

No there isn't, it's pretty basic. It has a knob for resistance, and the strap on the pedals can adjust to a accomodate a larger foot. So far it has been working great.

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

I think so. There is a weight limit, but I think it is 75-80 pounds. Probably not best for an adult, but I can jump on it for short periods, lightly, with no problems (170 lbs).
