how high off of the floor are the pedals at the peak of the stride of the Horizon Fitness EX-57 Elliptical Trainer

This is a very basic elliptical - whatever is average would be the answer. Even though we had to return it because of shipping damage we learned that it had all the basic strides and height.......We originally bought it because of the limited space we had.

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.

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

I read at Schwinn the pedal is 19" off the ground at the highest level..so add that to your height

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.

7 ft ceiling should work. Because, your leg won't be vertically straight. both of your feet will always stay on the pedals. the extreme positions of pedals are: high 12" and low 4" from ground. when two pedals are at same height, they are 8" from ground. Do the math, the lowest position of the tip of your head: 5'9" + 4" = 6' 1" < 7'the highest position of the tip of your head: 5'9" + 8" = 6' 5" < 7'You will have more than 5" clearance from ceiling most of time.

From Schwinnfitness.com "The maximum height of the footplate is 17" (43 cm). Add that to your height, plus several inches for comfortable clearance, to calculate the minimum ceiling height." I have an old 431 elliptical with the same 17" petal height, our basement ceiling tiles are at about 80" (6" 8").. I'm 5'6" and have enough room without removing any ceiling tiles. (My 431 has started making some noises after many years of use so am researching new models for a similar size/footprint.)

I'd say about four inches but the stride is around eleven inches. I have nine foot ceilings and when I'm on it I'm probably around 6 feet off the ground (as a five ft seven woman) hope this helps!

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.

not really high. I can't use it because my step is higher than it will adjust to.

The pedal is approximately 15 inches off the floor at the highest point, but I think what you really need to know is the height from the floor at it's lowest point (8 inches) because when your foot is at the high point, that knee is bent so it's not like it's putting your head 15 inches closer to the ceiling, which I think is what you're really trying to figure out, right? Standing on the 430 you're going to be 8-9 inches taller than you are standing on the floor. Hope this helps!

You can push one side of the pedals down as far as it will go then step over it, not high at all. Turn to sit on the seat then put your feet on the pedals

I am 5' and my ceiling is 7' and I have no problems using this machine. The pedals highest spot is 18 1/2 ". But if you are short you will have problems using the moving arms. I am thinking of taking mine off as I can not use them.

In the bottom position the pedal is seven inches off the ground. At the highest position, in the highest end of the pedal, it's 17.5" When the pedals go up, they angle and the back end of the pedal is higher than the front by about 3".

The maximum height of the pedals is 14-16 inches off the floor depending on where you measure. I am not sure you need to add that total height as when one foot/leg is up, the other is down. Your legs tend to compensate.

Not that high. You can step between the pedals so it's not to high at all. You just have to move the pedls to make it easier and that's not hard.

Not very high at all. I would say no more than 6-8 inches at the most. You can actually just step between the pedals and seat if careful.
