is there a way to adjust the track speed mine turn to fast it hard to walk on it spend more time trying to stay balanced than walking

Hey John, I don't think you can adjust the speed, but try to tighten the belt, see if that works. Otherwise this is just a manually balance cheaper version of a treadmill.

There is no speed adjustment. The speed is controlled by you and how you walk. This is a manual movement and moves when you walks or run on it. U would suggest you walk slower to slow it down. Hope this helps!

I adjusted mine to a comfortable fit and slide my feet in:/out. I find much easier than trying to adjust every time.

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

Sadly, there's no option to change tracks. My review mentions that it's one of the only things holding this back from being a five-star product. I still highly recommend it, though!

Try putting it in the track and roll it around the track several times FAST. If it's been sitting idle for a long time, this might bring it "back to life".

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.

My suggestion would be no, I bought this for grandson last year and the ball would always fall to the bottom of the ball it would not stay on the track . I would look for something different. Merry x mas!

Even your weight out. Use your heels more. Also if you feel the resistance on the way up, you get both positive resistances. Elongate the upwards motion won't icrease the speed but will definitely be more productive. I listen to techno and the first 2 mins are tough but then I'm able to keep up with the beat. Good luck and enjoy.

I have been using the Nordic Track machine for 26 years and have never had trouble with my feet sliding backwards, so I am of the opinion that you are not using the machine properly. Perhaps you should attempt to make sure your motion is one of slightly lifting each foot (not high but slightly) as you step forward. You should push down with each foot as you move your foot backwards and then lift ever so slightly as you step forward. It may also be helpful to keep the majority of your weight on the balls of your feet. It is a very natural move for me, so I believe your techniaue has been incorrect. Hopefully, this will be of help!

Pull out at a slight angle and follow the track. Than slip it in the track to replace.

Hold down the forward button but be careful because if you don't hold it long enough you will skip tracks

I would check the batteries first. Ours does slow down a lot when the batteries are low or when the wheels aren't perfectly aligned with the track.

It has pretty smooth tracking but in order to make it turn smooth make sure the wheels and that part of the board arent screwed on too tight! (:

I had a similar issue, and I wouldn't call it terrible, but there was definitely a wobble perpendicular to the track/rail. Tightening the bearing to the point that sliding movement is slower solved the issue though. Have you checked the bearings themselves? Is there a rust spot forming that might be making this movement?

stock it goes about jogging speed... this can be adjusted by replacing the motor or gears for more speed or slower with more tourqe.

this thing isn't intended to go very fast. It's pretty hard to learn to make it move, so stopping won't be the very first thing you'd think about and when you learn how to move you'd know how to stop also.

The little roller button on the side controls the speed on the on I have. Just slowly roll it up and down.
