Is it possible to adjust the tension on the wheels, i.e., make the wheels slower or faster?

The wheels cannot be adjusted. They do have a rubber strip around them so it doesn't slide sideways easily.

You can adjust the tension by tightening/loosening the screw in the center knuckle though I am not sure if the lowest setting would be too strong for the door you would use it on.

Well it is as stiff or soft as you want, you can adjust it buy turning a dial or wheel handle at the front, that sett's the spring tension.

You probably need to use rubber wheels not the plastic ones....just an idea.

If you adjust the tension knob down it will be easier. If still too hard, I loosened the strap on the front wheel. That helped more. It will move freely and go as fast as you make it.

I suppose you could do that but it would defeat the purpose of the product. I wouldn't recommend this product anyway, because you can't change the tension of the pedals. Fork out some dough and get yourself a real stepper.

You can shorten the string as much as you want, but you would have to get the wheels through your aisle. I am not close to my machine to measure, but is there information about the wheel width in the specs somewhere? That is the answer to your question, it seems to me. Good luck. elw

I had no problems with the wheels, mine was with the height adjustment never worked right, it always lowered to lowest position in after a few mins.

You can't adjust the stride length. You can only adjust the stride incline (which may slightly increase stride length by perhaps 2 inches at max) and the resistance. Stride length is not a feature that elipticals have unless you can somehow find one with interchangeable fly-wheels. (hint...no such eliptical exists)

Applying progressive pressure will make it slow down, the brakes are a piston above the rear wheels (an upside down bolt) which pushes into the tire, it is not a caliper that grips the wheel rim like on a bike. I think if you used the break in that manner you would have to frequently adjust the break with the rollator's included wrench and may eventually need to replace the wheel, I'm not sure that would be the case. I can say that after using it for many months now, I could not be more satisfied.

Yes, if it is not moving too fast. Just use the included wrench to set the tension where it works the best.

I haven't tried that myself, but I suppose you could. If I was going to do anything to these, it would be to lengthen the legs. Then, I would add pulls and wheels to the bottom (trundle) to make it easier to move in and out. Those are easy fixes, too, I think.

Sorry im honestly not sure. I believe it will becuase the tension is fully adjustable.

No. You adjust speed by the amount of pressure you apply to the pedal with your foot. Very little pressure equals very little speed and 'flooring' the pedal equals the machines max speed.

You can adjust it at any time, in manual or program mode. It has up/down arrows that let you add/decrease tension. Sometimes I just use manual option for my entire work out, adjusting it as I bike. Hope that helps

Yes the knob on the front adjusts the tension of the pedals. When left at the lowest position, the pedals turn easily.

That depends on your personal settings. The machine allows you to increase and /or decrease tension. You also work at your own speed.
