Does this bike allow you to stand and pedal at the same time?

I find it very difficult to do so. I was very disappointed in this; but, it may be because of my height. Anytime I try to stand on the bike it feels as if it will fall over.

I can't stand and pedal at the same time. It feels like I'm off-center when I try to stand on the pedals. The bike is a little tall for me (I'm 5'3") so that could be why.

No, but if you hook it up the way it is suppose to the handle bars will move when you pedal. However there is a way to not connect the handle bars to the pedals.

I think I know what you are asking. This bike has a flip flop hub. That means that it can be set to a free wheel where you can coast w/o pedaling. If you flip the hub, it becomes a fixed gear. That means that when the back wheel rotates, the pedals rotate. Does that answer you question?

I assume you are asking about the pedals... no. You can only pedal in one direction. It states in the instructions that you can damage the bike if you pedal backwards.

That is correct. It does not come with pedals just as high end road bikes do not. It IS a great bike. Feels like you are riding a road bike.

Yes, the bike has both braking systems. I've found the pedal breaks work better for my daughter (she's 7) as the hand brake seems to need more strength than she can give.

Yes. However It's a little difficult as with all of the weight in the rear, it makes the bike want to tip. My bike has a sidestand which makes it possible. It's a little tricky but I do it all the time. It is easier with 2 people.

No. These bikes do not have pedal assist. However, one can emulate pedal assist by adding a little power from the throttle while pedaling. Again, thanks for you question. Mark.

yes I use it both ways with and without the pedal. it had been a good investment so far. I use both bits

No - we pedal together. I thought this would be difficult but it is actually easy. We have really enjoyed this bike and are hoping to take it on longer tours this spring.

I believe so (I only have two of these though). My stands came separately, then I got the small connector piece that I can use to connect the two however I want to. So the bikes can line up beside each other, or every-other-one can face the opposite direction, or probably some other ways too.

Probably, however; I personally would not because it is a stationary bike with very little stability for NOT TIPPING OVER while standing. I DO NOT believe it was constructed for that purpose....that's IS WHY there are different settings for making it harder to pedal. You would get the same effect by increasing the more difficult settings.

I weigh 200 lbs and have never tried to use it standing up. However, the pedal cranks and pedals are very sturdy and well made. I think that a woman who weighs 120 lbs or less would have no problem standing and pedaling. I would recommend you check with Schwinn to verify its load limit.

i have pedaled standing on this and it is geometrically wrong, since the seat further behind the pedals. it can do it but its not really made for it

1. You can use them separately, however the one not in use still rotates. In my Physical Therapy I have to use the hands only and while I don't use the pedals they still spin. 2. The unit is not loud. You can watch TV - I usually listen to music with headphones. 3. I am 5'4" and my husband is 6' and we can both use the bike. Nice wide seat. The seat can be re-positioned. I really love the bike.

It can do one bike which has one bar, a left side and right side.Hope this helps

It almost depends on what type of bike you have. But that being said I have a commuter style bike and your legs do kind of have to go "out" a little more when you pedal. It's not bad though, it just takes some getting used to.
