Do the bars and handles come off so I can just use the treadmill part? I don't have storage space for the rest.

No, the bar and handles do not come off. Well...they do but the side bars connect to the treadmill and that's what keeps it off the ground. Even if you didn't mind a zero incline treadmill, which kind of defeats the purpose of having this in the home, you need the handles for balance. Check reviews for this treadmill and you'll find many people say you need it to stabalize yourself.

the handles come off, but the side pillars would need to be cut off. but this treadmill folds up to save space removing the pillars would not allow it to stay up. plus it would become very unstable, and it isn't very stable to begin with.

By "disarm the handle bars" if you mean lock them in place so they stay in the upright position, the answer is "no." However, you can just use the pedals, but the handle bars will still keep moving, as I`m sure you know. I have done this on many occasion and I like it because it adds more weight/resistance to my workout.Have you read my overall review of this product??

I've never had this problem. The handles don't come off and there's only a small little space between.

Mine came off & there were 3 small pieces: 2 screws & an internal sleeve. Get the bars lined up as there is a correct twist. Once you do that, all the other parts fit, no problem.

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!)

Hi, if I recall the whole bar plus crosspiece does come off. It came disassembled.

It took me about 90 min to put together so it does take some time. The directions were pretty easy to follow but there were a lot of nuts, bolts etc. So a lot of the time was used seperating all of the pieces. I will say I had a hard time putting on the handle grip. I was unable to fully slide it on, so I just pushed it as far as it would go. It has been like that since I had the treadmill, which is about 8 months or so, and I have had absolutely no problems. For the price its a great treadmill.

Yes the roll bar, steering wheel, loader & backhoe come off. The chasis with wheels came pre-assembled.

Excellent Question. NO. We brought ours into the spare bedroom in pieces and then assembled it. Be sure to buy the pad if you do. This treadmill is HEAVY.

When I use the treadmill I don't usually put it on a big incline but I have never had a problem holding on to the handlebars. The treadmill isn't a huge one (although my husband and I are both tall) so it's really easy to use. We have been very happy with it. It doesn't take up a huge amount of space like some treadmills either.

I went and checked on mine. Best I can tell you have to remove the screws attaching the back rest to the handles. Then it looks like you can remove the handles (although I did not try). The back rest should slid up and out. This would not be something you would want to do regularly, I would think.

the handle on my unit can be taken off by aligning the slot and sliding the handle over, then carefully lifting that end then the other to remove the handle , then lift the clear top the tabs last. to assemble reverse the steps

There is an area where you can place an ipad or tablet. I put my ipad on it and it doesn't move at all even while running on the treadmill.

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.

It has stayed put under our treadmill since we installed it. But, if I had to move it, it feels as if it would stay together pretty good to be temporarily relocated to another spot. Even if it were to come apart slightly, its very easy to reassemble.
