Since my basement ceiling comes in at around 7' I need to know the height of the foot pedals at the highest point. I am 5'2"

the highest point is 17 inches, our ceiling is 6' 9",and I am 5' 5". I haven't had any problems. I hope this helps.

18". I am 5' and able to workout and have no issues even though the foot pedals are long and wide.

I think its about 18 inches off the floor at the high point so you should be fine there. I'd consider a different machine if I were you though. My brother's lasted about six months. Just long enough for the warranty to run out. If you're more than a casual exerciser pay a little more and get a better model. You'll be glad you did.

I am 5'1 and my ceiling is low. I for just done. My husband and dad who are taller also use it with ease

About 1-1/2 ft. This machine is made for women. My husband is 6' and it's too small for him for full range of motion.

I want to say the lowest the pedal comes to the floor is about 2.5 inches or so.

The footpad is about one foot off the floor at its lowest point so the ceiling should be at least an inch or two more than your height plus one foot. In your case a ceiling height of about 6' 9" is needed. My basement ceiling is 7' 6" and at 6' 1" my head is about 4-5 inches from the ceiling. I've never had a problem. If it's close just make sure your head won't be directly under a ceiling fixture or recessed light.

There are 4 adjustable and locked heights. With the pedal perfectly verticle, (perpendicular to the floor) the lowest (I will call 1) Pos. 1: Lowest pedal = 2 7/8"" Highest pedal= 10 1/2" Pos. 2: Lowest =5 1/8" Highest = 12 5/8" Pos. 3: Lowest =6 3/8" Highest= 14" Pos 4: Lowest =7 3/8" Highest= 15"I hope this helps

Our proform 1110 E is in our basement. The ceiling in 7' 6" and I am 6' 3" with my shoes on. I have to keep the incline at 0 in order to keep about 1" of clearance for my head. When the incline is all the way up (20), my head hits if I stand tall. If I lean forward (as you would if you were walking or running up hill), I'm ok, but it's a bit uncomfortable. If our basement ceilings were a full 8' tall I'd be fine. If you're under 6' tall, you'll probably be fine too. My wife is only 5' tall so it isn't an issue for her at all. :-D

At it's fullest you will be standing on the top rung which is exactly 7' 7" from floor. So that plus your heighest reach. We have 12' ceilings and I'm only 5' tall and I can reach the ceiling. Love the fact that you can raise one side and not the other and get fright up close to the wall.

Hi Jill, Yes, the step up height is just about a foot. I would add that to your actual height for your ceiling clearance. So, for example, if the user is 6 ft, I would have at least a 7 ft ceiling clearance, maybe 7' 2" to be safe. Just let me know if I can be of more help. Best Regards, Andy

I'm six foot and I have more than enough headroom with an 8 foot high ceiling. A pedal at the bottom of it's orbit would be about 6 inches off the floor.

It is a mere 5 inches. This was THE number one consideration for me due to a low basement ceiling height. This machine is one of the few, if not the only, affordable treadmills with a low deck height. Perhaps the lowest in its class.

At the machine's lowest angle, the pedal is 10.5 inches from the floor, not including the foot guard, which adds a couple inches. We usually use it on the middle setting while sitting on the couch, which puts the pedal 15 inches from the floor.

Just measured - 12 inches from floor to top of pedal at highest. Like the other response said, the Octane is a little different in its motion, which keeps the height pretty low.

I am 5'-10" with an 88" ceiling height. I have the same question. Spoke with Schwinn customer service but they couldn't help. Suggested I go to a store and try it out and measure how high my head goes!

I used the LS13.0E-2 in a 2nd floor room where the ceiling is just under 8 feet. I am 5-7 and don't hit the ceiling. The lower foot pad is 12 inches above the floor and the upper foot pad is 20 inches above but the knee is bent here.

I have not measured. But honestly, not much. The handles do not go far beyond the front of the machine and the pedals stay within the body of the machine as you use it. You could use in a small space as long as you have a decently high ceiling.

If I understand the question, I measured 15 inches off floor to top pedal when at highest position.

I am surprised at how hard it is to get this type of info. Surely lots of people want to put these machines in their basements which might have relatively low ceilings. I got an answer from Vision Fitness that makes sense to me but you'll need to know the mid-height pedal measurement (average of lowest and highest measurements). Add the mid-height measurement to your height and add a few inches for a safety zone. You are never actually as high as the highest pedal position when you're working out, but you definitely go higher than the "step-up height." I am shocked that Schwinn could not help you with this.

Mine is mounted in the garage, so my ceilings are at 10 feet. The bikes sit high enough that you can easily walk under them.
