It does not look like there are any direct input speed or incline buttons. Like 1-12. How do you change the speed of the machine? How quickly can you

There are incline and speed change buttons located in the center by the green "quick-start" and red "stop" button. The incline goes up in .5 increments up to 15. Speed can go up to 12. Speed goes up pretty quickly, yet I find it take a little bit more time for it to slow down. The incline and decline work well, very smooth and gradual.

There are direct up and down arrows for both speed and incline. Unlike cheaper treadmills they respond instantly on the display and are fast to change. Treadmill responds intentionally more slowly to protect motor and electronics for long life. It's a nice interface.

There is a variable speed control on the recorder. I haven't used it...but it's there. Can imagine it would be helpful if one was dictating into the machine.

There's no button. There are 2 legs at the back of the treadmill that you adjust by hand.

I am not sure, but I think that Nova actually sells an upgrade kit. Go to their website. With that being said, I really have not found manually changing the speeds to be a great impediment. It is a fairly easy process. Not that I am a master turner, but I am able to produce very nice bowls with this machine in less than two hours. Consider the pricepoint. It does lack the variable speed feature, but is loaded with other features not available on other machines at this price. Save your money on the variable speed and opt for the optional outrigger arm if you turn bowls. I would also highly recommend purchasing a Nova chuck. Money very well spent....

how fast can you pedal? there is a knob to control resistance. The beauty of this machine it is quiet it has resistance not a huge fan with wind noise.

There are 3 settings on this machine--massage, which starts out mild and builds to a crescendo, beat, which is like a pulse, and knead, which feels like it is making spirals. You can adjust the intensity and that is really nice. There are 6 automatic setting that make combinations and you can adjust the speed. Hope this answers your questions. I was surprised with the intensity with just the batteries, but it is heavy duty enough for me. Good Luck!

This treadmill operates up to 4 mph while some other 'normal' treadmills I looked at (http://www.amazon.com/ProForm-PFTL60910-Proform-505-Treadmill/dp/B0048HS02G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1383233938&sr;=8-3&keywo;rds=treadmill) go up to 10mph. 4mph is a bit too fast for me to walk on safely, but I'm not sure how that translates to your body size or fitness level. Just in case it may help, I have read about people elevating the front of this treadmill for a mild incline to increase resistance.

Yes, the settings are easily adjustable to any strength you prefer. It's really easy to figure out this machine. You can use setting one and with the push of a button you can change it to a higher strength. :)

You can set the speed manually, or use one of the automated programs. I always adjust the speed manually. The increments are 0.1 mph.

Yes, the incline is adjusted manually and has 3 setting. I can't find any information on the exact percentage (even on the direct website), but it goes from flat to barely inclined to walking a gentle slop. This machine doesn't offer anything too steep.

Mine has several speeds. They go from slow to fast. I've never seen any other mixer with any other sort of controls. Have you ever used a hand controlled mixer before? This works just like any other. It just seems much tougher and harder working. I never look at the digital display in actuality. I just "shift gears" and keep on trucking.

There are no settings other than velocity measurement in feet or meters per second. When turned on it defaults to feet each time per the manual. Try reviewing the manual then contact the manufacturer for further assistance if needed.

You have to keep pressing down on the pedal to speed it up. Separate spins don't do the trick.

I agree on all points. No incline but the resistance settings work great and provide a lot of resistance if you turn it up. Super smooth. And the pedals do have an angle adjustment which is very nice. I am currently using the middle setting of three. It does use an AC outlet but is only a wall wart type power supply and it is supplied. I also don't think you can use a chest monitor though it does have the handles for monitoring heart rate. I would think it would be pretty easy to connect in where the handles connect to the display and hard wire a chest monitor. I really can't say for sure how well it would work but I would be it could be done. And I like it much better than the gym ellipticals I have tried. In fact I was taking a risk buying this since I actually didn't really care for the gym ellipticals. I was determined to adjust to this to help with upper body toning but there was no adjustment needed. It beats the heck out of the gym ellipticals in my opinion. Very ergonomically designed, whisper smooth and quiet, and a pleasure to use.

I see that other people have already answered this question, but I would just echo the responder who noted the resistance is effectively the same as incline. Either method will in the end make your muscles work harder. The equipment literature notes that there are 17 resistance settings. These are much easier to adjust than resetting the machine incline. You can also choose or create programs that vary the resistance and intensity as you might expect going up hills during a run. I suggest that you do search on the mfg. website for the manual for further details.

There's nobutton. You retract the two legs at the back part of the treadmill, and you get a slight incline. It only has two modes, with the legs on and with the legs out.

you can not change tempo, not that im aware of anyway, however you can check out some youtube vidios on it there might be a way i just havn't looked or had a need for it. i can say it is a very nice machine it is the cleanest sound i have heard, it will compare to a professional recording, though i do have it patched in to a 24 x 4 bus analog mixing console. hope i helped..
