Is resistance (akin to going up hill or faster) adjustable, or is it simply by going to higher gears?

I hope I answer the question you intended but my experience is that you just adjust the gears on your bike - It's simply resistance. Your bike will pitch forward slightly when it's on the stand. I hope this helps.

I found it to be a combination of shifting and the remote tension cable. the tension adjustment adds resistance not like climbing, so I use the combination to get a realistic feeling. full remote tension adjustment will get you out of the saddle.

There is mechanical resistance too. A switch with various levels is mounted to the handle bar and controls resistance via cable with the unit.

Very simple. There is a knob you tighten or loosen to create more or less resistance.

Sorry, Rebecca but you cannot adjust resistance of steps. I do like this stepper a lot, though.

Yes. I highly recommend that feature! You can vary the incline and resistance without breaking stride or interrupting your workout.

The control should be attached to the handlebars, then you can adjust the resistance as you pedal.

The levels to make the workout a little harder. The resistance was noticeable, but not extreme, we just adjusted our bikes resistance also to make it a harder workout.

You can not tell what the resistance is. You just control by turning a knob to make it harder to pedal. It is very noisy. I am not happy with it at all.

Yes. You can adjust the resistance manually or you can choose a pre-set program. Every workout session begins with the pedals at zero resistance.

Yes, there is a difference. If I have too much resistance then I can't move without using the rails.

It will move forwards and backwards. I found the resistance difficult to change, so I generally just use this to loosen up.

The resistance level and type of ride are set electronically on the instrument panel. The flywheel resistance is magnetic and gets harder for hills and mountains. You set the resistance level at 1-5 for each programmed ride, ie "ride in the park", "rolling hills", Pike's peak" etc. I've had no problems, nice smooth bike.

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

No. The incline cannot be adjusted. There is no motor. Your legs have to move the belt and that effort makes it feel like you're going uphill. You can adjust the belt resistance or speed. I find that the lowest setting gives me enough of a workout.

absolutely, you can crank up the resistance to the point where you can barely move the pedal. I don't know why you would want to train that way. But you can do it.

Probably depending on your wheel size. Resistance wheel is adjustable. Might want to check w/ the company for specifics. Ya, don't stand up on the pedals. Same thing happened (fell over). Also, I took off the wind resistance wheel on the right side. Very noisy. Otherwise a great product.

I've had this product for a few weeks now and have used it maybe 10 times. I like everything on it so far except for the adjustable resistance. I honestly can't tell the difference between level 1 from level 7. This doesn't affect my workouts since I just switch my bike's gears to change the resistance level. The resistance control is just an unnecessary piece that gets in the way in my opinion.

Absolutely. It has an incline button for every level so while you are going u can switch to whatever incline u want with only one button press. Same for resistance levels.
