Can you install regular metal pedals instead of the plastic folding ones? (At least they look plastic in the pictures)

hmm good question - I feel that you can, but I have had zero issues with the plastic folding ones. They are quite durable as I have been hit by a car, crashed the bike, had it toppled over, etc and everything is still in working fashion. But I would shoot the owner that question and I am sure he would be able to give you a better answer.Mike

My 2nd Fbike ordered a few months ago came with padals with mostly metal parts, which is a nice improvement of the bike. The 1st one I ordered in Jun 2014 came mostly plastic, but I have no problems with them after 200+ miles.

Yes both the seat and pedals can be swapped out. I changed the original pedals for look pedals for my cycle shoes.

Yes, that's the way I assembled mine. I believe they are screws meant just for this sort of plastic. I've had no issues with mine since installation.

They'll add about a centimeter to the pedals, and enlarge the surface quite a bit. They should make a big difference I'd think.

Look for 2 small screws on the front of the pedal. Also there may be a reflector on the front side that can be removed to attach the pedal. These come with 2 self-tapping screws that attach to small holes in the edge of the pedal. If there are drilled through holes, small machine screws, lock washers, and nuts can be used. Each pedal is different. Check yours carefully before ordering.

Hey Paul, I bought two sets of these pedals for my beater road bike and the bearings didn't last 100 mi. in either one before they started making noise. They both went onto the trash. I've got no idea whether they are compatible with foot straps. Spend a little more and get a better pedal. regards, Dave

Sorry Jeff, I don't know the size. I am pretty sure pedals are standard size.

I think the pedals are a little too small for normal shoes but the pedals are still flat do I don't see why not. Matter of personal preference I suppose!!!

Yes, that is correct. You can either purchase pedals from us separately or use pedals that you already use for your road bike. Thanks, Andy

As for packaging, mine looked like crap but the bike was fine. The pedals are regular pedals that you can get almost anywhere if you don't like them... Do make sure you look at the designation on the pedals and put them on the correct side or you will strip them out. You can always reject the shipment (if you are there to receive it) if the bike is haging out of it. Or Amazon is really good about refunds.

I don't think so. I think Pedals may small for Z and brackets for them are not good design.

They're just regular pedals. You can buy special pedals (for which you need special shoes) to replace these if you want to get really serious about biking. But the pedals that come with this bike are standard.

Not very practical as there isn't a very large contact point.If you want something you can ride clipless or flat you might wanna try crank brothers mallet pedals.

you should be able. if you want to pass me your email and I send you a photo of the pedal support

It's very simple, you just kinda fold it around the pedal. It has grooves that the medal part of the pedal fits into the rubber. Its a great purchase to replace old worn ones.

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.

yes, 2 screws and nuts that attach the toe clip to pedal. If you have a vintage bike pedal you may need a couple of washers
