Can this be used by more than one person (different height, speed, etc?) Can it be set to different exercise levels?

The distance from seat to peddles is adjustable. The resistance levels are also adjustable.
254817
Yes, and it is very easy to adjust. I am 5'9" and my husband is 6'3" and we both use it.
254818
Yes to both questions. The seat is adjustable manually. There is a knob underneath the seat. The console allows you to electronically adjust the resistance of the pedal. One note - the straps that hold your feet to the pedal broke off after about a year and a half. They weren't very durable. However, once I became accustomed to not using the strap, I actually preferred it that way.

The unit may be used by different persons, as the length of distance from the seat to pedals is adjustable. In my experience, it may be used by persons between 5' and 6'1". It is also possible to adjust the resistance level easily
254820
It is adjustable for more than one person. It can be set for different exercise levels on the console. Very easy.

Yes- I'm 69 and short: my son-in-law uses it occasionally and he's 6' and young. The bike is very adjustable (and comfortable).

I don't think so. It is challenging to set up and I don't need distance. What I can say is that I've had trouble with it working properly with certain jog bras and particular exercises such as burpees. In my opinion their customer service leaves quite a bit to be desired. They seem more interested in making things the owner's problem than listening and helping solving what's not working. That said, I'm on my fourth. But there are many more options now.
2225945
yes it would. And it does have different speeds so you can adjust it as your muscles get use to one speed.
1723406
Yes you can adjust to 4 different heights. I think it would be fine for you

Yes, on one end. But I have to caution that I was disappointed at the weak resistance (to pedaling) of this unit -- even at the highest setting, 8, it's really too easy to get your heart rate up very much. My wife, who uses a "professional" unit at her company's gym, says that this is hardly more than just freewheeling. I even wrote to the company to ask whether there's any way to increase the resistance and they completely ignored my inquiry -- I wouldn't expect any customer support for anything about the bike from them. The only good thing was that assembly was intuitive and very straightforward.In all, I would reduce my score, having used it for a few months now. Yes, on one end.

It has been a while since I ordered and returned this item. I ordered it for my wife because of back surgeries and "weak legs", but she didn't get to try it since it was the wrong model. Some of the reviews at the time of ordering complained about it being one speed and therefore making it difficult to pedal on hills and inclines. Depending on your child's age it could be a good way to strengthen her legs. Being a retired spec. Ed. teacher, I know this type of exercise is important, but I don't know her particular circumstances. If she has a physical therapist, they would be the best to give advice. Hope this helps.

I use the same iFit module, rotating between my treadmill, elliptical, and recumbent bike. One iFit module can be used in multiple devices. All will be recorded on the same iFit account

It contains two straps so two people can use them. If the two are of different heights, you may have to make sure each uses a different loop (there are 3 on each end I believe) to make the lifted appliance level. This is important when going you steps, especially.

I have just started using the bike... and I find that if I just don't use any of the aerobic options and just stay steady with it at one, it's okay. I don't believe you can get the resistance any lower, but you can build up your strength using level 1 until ready to start using the workout aerobic trainers. I don't choose anything... when I get on the bike I just start to petal... and let it stay neutral like I'm on a level terrain track. I can only do 10 min at a time right now.

Yes, you should be able to. It is light weight and very easy to set up. I'm only 5'4" and my balance isn't the best. I haven't had any problems setting it up.

We just started using it. You can adjust the settings for "less" resistance so the heavier you are the less incline.

It depends upon how short the user is. I would say that anyone under five feet or so (I'm 5'10") would need a shorter setting than is available on the machine. The storage setting is a possibility, as my girlfriend's stepson is able to use it, albeit all scrunched up, on that setting; he's about 4'6". The pedals *do* go backwards, but I don't know if the speedometer/odometer work properly. The tensioner works in either direction.

I'd say you need to be standing to use this device. But you'd be surprised how much exercise you can get in 5 or 10 minutes. If you can stand for that length of time a couple of times a day, I think this machine could be very useful.

Yes. You can modify the jumping exercises. Step rather than jump. 1 of the demonstrators can't jump either.

Yes. I've used it with older and taller kids in that range. It is adjustable. If it's just for you and your kid it should work nicely. If it's a whole team that height and age range it may not last the whole season depending on amount of use in practice. It's durable though. I've been happy with it.

It can, but very awkward. It is waste of time with this bike I am sorry that I bought it because the seat is so hard and pain your buttock. I hope this was helpful. unable to exercise long. Only for 10 minutes.
