How do you make the rear wheels quiet on a KneeCycle?

Be more specific. I've had experience with two knee scooters and haven't had any noise from any wheels.

We have to oil the rear wheel brake mechanism now and then. At first it squeaked often, now quite rarely. WD40 comes in a pocket-sized "pen" dispenser, very easy to take with when you travel.

It's me again...I read the reply from the other person. The directions suggest that you buy a spray can of lubricant to use on the underside of the belt periodically (silicon, I think). The information is in the owner's manual. I think this would have solved the other person's noise problem.

There is some noise because of the vibration. It is important to have very smooth tires, so I had my tire changed just to use this. I like the product and it works well.

Alignment + lubrication will reduce the brushy sound. How to do it is in the manual.

It's not silent like a fine tuned set of roller blades, but I found it just mixed in with the other cycling sounds. When listening to music, I don't really hear it at all.

there's a black knob in the front just tighten it, but actually better not increasing it a lot, as it will get hot and start whistling. I had the problem of it making noise until I used my head and figured it was because i had it too tight. It now works beautifully and I use every day for 30 minutes. Had had knee surgery and and I went thru therapy afterwards and one of the other people in there said she had one and loved it, so I asked the therapist and she said by all means when you finish your therapy here, just continue using the Stamina. I love it. Been using about 1 month now and not only does my knee feel better but both legs love the exercise, as i'm not an outside walker, great little machine and great price. Good luck !

start on the top of the pedal and work it around. a little silicone may help.

I have the same issue with mine. Other than the sand noise in the wheel, I think the manufacturer needs to grease the ball bearing of the axle. I don' t know if some manufacturers do that on purpose, but whenever you starting hearing those noises, the bike won' t be too long before the bike breaks down. In the old days, I used to fixing bikes, that is how I know about the issue. But if you are not a heavy user, I think it will be ok for a while. Good luck!

How about putting the kick stand down then get off bike. Lean bike a bit and place it under the stand...

no,if your rims out of shape-you can adjust it no noise period/mine is bent and has knobby tires and i adjusted it works great,it will change if you move the bike-just double check.

Ours isn't that loud so I don't know what else to suggest to you. Maybe make sure things are tight but not too tight. If the legs are fully stretched out to the side it helps too.

Well I don't know about the ride but it is quiet with the pneumatic wheels when pulling it to the dump station. I have notice the plastic wheels are noisy

It is very noises. I found with each motion you make it sounds like the wheel is rubbing against something. You can't watch tv while working out on it.

Not noisy at all. It sounds lust like my rolling brief case. The wheels glide very smothly.

Hi, Im not sure. That being said, I returned mine because the wheels made so much noise. The wheels are hard plastic, instead of soft rubber (like a bike tire).

Make sure you push the wheels in far enough. If I remember correctly, I had to push really hard; you should hear a big "pop" when that in. Hope this helps.
