Can the user choose in which direction the belt travels (to make use of the incline while walking backwards)? What is the weight limit?

Thank you for your question. The belt moves either forward or backward and the weight limit for the Model A-2000 is 350 lbs in a water depth of 4'. Warmest, Dorsey D. ActiveForever

My boyfriend is the one that is using it. He is 6 foot and does weighted dips but has to wrap the belt around twice to keep the weight at his knee level.

I just got back from a trip which required my mom to push me over brick sidewalks which were often uneven and cracked. I weigh 160 lbs. She pushed the equivalent of one block on straight path. It was okay but doing an incline was more of a problem. Also, it not a traditional wheelchair but it was better than walking with a regular walker.

Probably - the thing about this treadmill is it has a weight limit, only can be used in the incline position, and is very hard to move. Since you are taller and probably heavier than I am (130 pounds) this might not be an issue for you.

I don't think there's a weight limit, you would just adjust the resistance accordingly.

By adjusting the strap...you can shorten the strap and it will not allow you to go back as far or you can lengthen the strap and it will allow you to go back further. Also, if you unhook the strap it will allow you to become completely inverted.

Not as far as I have determined. It seems to stay in a fixed position. I have not been able to adjust the incline.

I only tried it once many years ago and it was boring. You can hardly notice it change. But try it and see. Any form of movement will effect it, but it was built for machine movement I believe. Not reading the prior posts I answered the request. My model is quite old and if it has a pedestrian mode, I don't know it. Will check further, but being unable to walk any great distance, do not need the feature. Will try and find the booklet and update it in my mind.

No, and its very heavy. The belt area is pretty long. If your not very tall you may want to go with a shorter belt area and it will obviously be lighter and easier to move.

I wear on my belt on the right side and about 4-6 inches from my center. But the location of the pedometer is sensitive to your gait and your size. So I tested until I got the error rate as close to zero as I could.

I'm not sure. Every time I tried to use it, it started pretty hard but then it kinda gets "smother" as you keep going. I can't remember if you can adjust the resistance bc I gave it away last year; sorry I can't help with that question :(

No, you can't. That is one reason why I sent it back. I am too tall to hold the arms on incline.

It's been quite fine for me (165 lbs). Inclines while I am walking on the belt with no issues, declines the same. It's on a screw type lift so it's not an instantaneous thing.

I started on mine at 245lbs...it handled that ok...walking on an incline of 4...jogging, I have no experience with.

Yes, it can pedal forward and backward with both the pedals or upper body. Both are on the same belt so the upper body also turns even if you only use the pedals.

Yes, there is a strap that you can use to lock it to however far back you want to be...It doesn't lock it so you cannot come up but it does prevent you from going further back than you want too.

Hello, The Recaro Pro Ride can be used rear (5-40lbs) and forward facing (20-70lbs). It reclines approximately 5 inches but in the forward facing position it is not recommended to use it in the incline position.
