does this set the arm with the pedal or is it just a release

The pedal when stepped on creates the tension on the spring. When you step down and the tension gets to a certain point the arm releases. When the arm is locked and loaded there is no tension on the spring until you step down on the pedal creating it. Youtube videos will show you how it works.

The pedal "cocks", or at least loads the spring when you step down on it, then a chain with a spring in it fires the device. There is no stopping point where it is cocked and awaiting a pull, step or other method of release. You manually set the "trigger" lever when you cock the device, then as you step down on the pedal, you're pushing against the spring. As you move your foot farther down, it trips the cocking lever and lets the clay fly.

It pushes out with a push button. It is a bit touchy which I found cool since I could glide my arm along the side of my torso and produce the illusion of it acting like the game. I will admit the handlers weren't kind but the product came out fine.

Yes the outside arms/handles move with the pedal. Its like an elliptical with a seat.

No I don't think so, I think if you try to do that you will ruin the motor. I was actually disappointed in the bike, it is really ONLY passive motion. There is no resistance to set and if you pedal ahead of the motor with effort on your own part..it shuts down and you have to wait for it to catch up to you. I am going to sell it on ebay as a used bike. It would be great for a stroke victim that wants passive ROM with arms and legs, just not someone who is looking for a workout.

My husband says there is a release lever in the front after you use the foot pedal and you just push the release lever down.

This arm DOES return to the rest by itself, it doesn't just sit on the record. But you do have to place it on the record yourself initially. It does have a cuing lever.

The pedals come in a set of two. I had trouble with the left pedal not releasing properly and will exchange them for another set.

Short answer, "No." Longer answer, that's really more a function of the pedal and how you've adjusted it, than of the cleats themselves. I bought some cheap Wellgo commuter pedals whiich I use with these cleats, and was generally pleased, but had a couple of unwanted releases at the default setting, I tightened the pedal one turn, and am quite satisfied with the release tension. Your mileage may vary, but it's the pedal, not the cleat, that will define the release characteristics.

No, the arm simply slides down over the top of the tripod. It can make for a few squeaks so I'll just occasionally spay a little oil on the connection. This also makes it easy to setup and take down.

Carol: There is one primary setting for resistance ... this applies to both the pedals and the arm bars, so I guess the short answer to your question is: yes. If you want to only focus on your legs, just keep your hands off the bars. This is primary way I tend to use it ... but I occasionally bring the arms into it when my legs get tired at different points in a workout.I have found the transitions between levels of resistance to be very smooth and seamless.

There are instructions that come with it that tells you how to use the manual release

just with tension. there is a little screw that tightens down on the arm to hold it in place. in all honesty, not amazing but it works. I have had some issues getting it to lock into place myself...but on the other hand it is really cheap.

There is a lever inside that you pull to the side and then down. Then you set the combo to whatever you want. Then release that lever. It is now set.

There is a sensor, the magnetic ring attaches to the pedal crank and the pick up ring attaches to the pedal hub. It does require removing one of the pedal cranks which does require a special tool. I bought that tool at a local bike shop for $12. When everything is working the pedal assist can tell when your pedaling and it uses the motor to assist, making pedaling easier. It's a weird feeling at first, it feels like the bike is pulling away from you, but I got used to it quickly. The motor will stop pulling as soon as you touch either of the included brakes. You can use the pedal assist instead of the throttle but I prefer the thumb throttle. That's just my opinion though.

To each their own. If your looking to pedal to attempt to tone up while using a small space than this is the item your looking for. The tension is adjustable. And it is a noticeable adjustment at that. My bike worked so well building muscle tone I had to stop using it, Lol.. In the summer I put it on my porch or deck in front of the fan and pedal away while the kids are at play.

Yes, you push in towards the pedal crank to release the pedal, then to the side to fold it flat against the bike frame. When you pull out on it from the folded position it snaps into locked position.

I am presuming there was a "typo" and you are asking can the arms and foot pedals work "separately"? No, when you move the foot pedals, the arm handles move also (regardless if your arms are on the arm handles) conversely, if you move the arm handles the foot pedals move regardless if your feet are on the foot pedals. My husband said it can be assembled without the arm handles and it will work.
