Independent Pedaling mean either front or back rider can coast while the other peddles? Overall length folded & unfolded? High & low gear ratio?

Yes. Independent peddling is good for letting girlfriend relax and enjoy while the boy do the hard work. Length good enough to hang on my car carrier for single bike. Gear ratio however is too slow. I modified to a bigger gear to have a decent fast speed.

Folds to size of regular bike, offset your car rack 6" to left to center bike when mounted. Have it assembled at a bike shop, had a minor issue with brakes and seat posts. Good bike for around town and short trips, it is a cruiser not a road bike.

yes- they can coast or go their own speed. not sure without going down to measure- ask company- but it does fold for shorter cars. 7 gears- so like a beach bike. It is good for the cost- but this company is not pleasant to work with- we had a seat post issue..... and thank goodness Amazon was on our side!!! document every conversation!

Yes, pedals are bidirectional. The odometer will only function in the traditional forward motion.

It has a flip flop hub meaning on one side it's continous pedaling (fixed fear) or you can flip the rear wheel over and it's free wheel (non-continous, cruise)

The seat adjusts. I just measured the distance from the front of the seat to the pedal in the "up" position when pedaling and it measures 37/38 inches from the front of the seat. I am only 5' 10" and can not reach the pedals when the seat is all the way back. Hope this helps. My wife and I both love the "bike".

It is better than riding in a stationery position even if you don't go far. I am not in competition with anyone, just trying to keep on the move anyway I can and go some place. I also have a recumbent trike, bike and Trikke.

There is no problems at all. When the seat is off, all you have is the central bar and it does not interfere with the pedaling.

Yes,you can pedal backwards. There's also resistance as you pedal backwards

If you want to be able to pedal backwards freeky. Simple flip the rear wheel. It's a flip hub which means one side is fixed and the other is single speed. Stay coastin.

Yes to both. I have had two. Accidentally left last one on my trade in (road king for new road glide). It can go as low or all the way up to middle of back. It makes a world of difference. Hope this helps.

Not to my knowledge.....different models may be different sizes but this particular bike only comes in the one size. The whole idea is that it is compact....however, the handle bars and seat accommodate almost every size. This is a great bike. It is built solid and rides like a dream.....it is geared so well that you forget you're on a folding bike with smaller than usual tires. I took mine to the local bicycle shop for the minor assembly that was needed but if you're handy and knowledgeable about bikes there's no reason you couldn't do it yourself. Bottom line: I love my bike! It performs as well as the top of the line Trek it replaced and I've not had one moment of regret!

Flipping the back tire allows you to either coast on the freewheel, or set it to be a fixed gear where the pedals continually move as the wheel moves.

Yes you can peddle and turn at the same time. Unfolded it is a normal bike.

Very minimal. It comes folded up. Putting in the handlebars and pedals was about it

You could stand and pedal. I did not find the bike very comfortable. Ended up selling it. There was something very odd about the way the seat angled.Didn't love it. I take spin classes and am familiar with that style bike. I would choose another model!

You can pedal backwards, but not at a set level of intensity. If you pedal backwards, it's as if you are using the bike without it being powered on.

This bike does NOT have gears and it also does not have hand breaks. You must back pedal to stop.

I live in a hilly area. I haven't found a hill I can't climb with peddle work in the right gear. You do have to peddle on hills. I never have to stand up in my seat, though. It's more like trying to peddle about the same as you would if there were no motor on flat ground. I have never had to jump off and push the bike up a hill, however, without peddling and gear changes, the bike will stop going up a steep hill. If you buy the newer model with the bigger motor, it might make a difference.
