Is it possible to raise the treadmill on blocks to make it a flat surface without causing problems with its' working? I

No,because you use your own body weight by pushing the belt .That's why its stays at the angle all the time.

yes you can raise the belt and it will still work. but it will not work well, it will more like pushing. try only raising it 1" or 2" the angle is needed. try turning the tension knob to #1 first.

Try putting a wet towel under it and it won't move........wash in machine and set under something heavy to make it flat again

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.

I don't think it's tall enough for a treadmill. You'll have to look down in order to use it. You COULD use it, probably if you put it on a step stool and then you could swing it over in front of you. There may be better options out there? Good luck with your search!

Not from my experience, but you need a really flat surface to run it on for it to be 100% smooth

Yes you could but it probably won't look as smooth as a flat, even wall. But it's doable.

You should be able to push it when it's folded. It should move very smoothly. If it doesn't, then something is wrong with that particular treadmill. It can even roll relatively easily, when it isn't folded.

I don' know twhy the reader is asking again, when the answer to the question has been provided, that the treadmill will damage flooring. The mat is cheap in comparison to having new flooring installed.

In my opinion; YES, but lock the wheelchair in position and place Aerobic pedaler in front of you at a comfortable distance to pedal from.I modified mine a bit by fastening rubber feet so they could not turn over with drilling a hole in the top of them and using a sheet metal screw through them into the metal pipe, but I believe a good adhesive would work as well. They were a nuisance to keep flat on the floor otherwise.

You have to hold on to the bars reason being is because the treadmill is a little inclined(going up) also because you have to push down on your feet to get it going. its a manual machine and not automatic.

Flat is relative. While still assembled you can adjust the stand to a completely horizontal level which would still be equal to the height of the legs. Disassembly would be required to get it flatter.

I don't think it would hold up under workbench activity. It's about 1/4 inch thick but has a spongy layer between the surfaces. so it feels a little soft rather than tough. I think I recall a reviewer saying it got caught on something and ripped--which seems possible to me. There are indentations where the treadmill sits on it and squishes it down. One surface is crinkly and one is smooth. I'm not sure which is really supposed to be the top surface, but I feel like I might be able to force my fingernail through either one. (Could be wrong, but I don't want to try it!)

I'm sure you could on a nice flat surface but I returned my set since the pins were uneven and the ball didn't roll straight. What's the point?

You must hold the side bars because the treadmill is manual. You may fall off if you are not holding on.

That would be an interesting addition. If you are considering the Varidesk single (which I love) the the answer is it depends on how tall you are. There are 11 height settings with the Varidesk. The tallest setting(which I use) does overhang the edge of the desk by a few inches. I would suspect this might be the setting you would want anyway given the extra height of the treadmill (assuming you're going to use a standard height for a desk). The arms of the Varidesk unit swing up from the back so the lower settings are further back on the desk. Hope that helps.

I have not done that myself, but some reviewers stated that it worked for them. The treadmill has a very low profile, which requires a sturdy mat underneath, especially on carpet. I believe the 2x4 would work, as long as the belt does not rub on the opposite end.

I am not sure of the problem you are describing. If your treadmill is moving quite vigorously because the floor is incredibly uneven, such that moving the arms back and forth causes the machine to move side to side or front to back, then I am not sure this mat will solve the problem. If the problem is merely that the machine is slipping to and fro on the floor (such as because the floor is slanted one way or is incredibly slick), then I think the mat would solve that problem.
