SCHWINN 430 ELLIPTICAL FOOT HEIGHT: Does someone have the height off the floor of the pedal at its high point?
624959
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!

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.

Unlike other ellipticals, the Octane is very low. What is the height of your ceiling?

Depends partly on how tall you are. :) Mine is in a room with 8' ceiling (96"). Pedals are 20" off the ground at peak of cycle. I'm 5'-11" (71") so my head at 91" is 5" clear of the plaster. I suggest you do your own arithmetic.

I'm not a mathematician, but I measured, on one side from the base of the spindle to the top of the pedal as approximately 4.5". The frame is also adjustable. I have fairly long legs, and have no problem, but since the unit is mobile, it can easily be used with any height of seat. So, between the choice of seat height and the adjustment to the unit, I think that pretty much anyone should be able to comfortably use it. Hopefully this will work out for you; I love mine!

At the machine's lowest angle, the pedal is 10.5 inches from the floor, not including the foot guard, which adds a couple inches. We usually use it on the middle setting while sitting on the couch, which puts the pedal 15 inches from the floor.

The inner edge of the pedals are 6 inches apart. It's a very comfortable stance as if walking. Hope this helps!

Max height doesn't matter; mid-range height does. In other words, you want to know the height of the pedals when they are equal. If you know this then add it to your height and that is how high your head will be at the highest point of your stride (which is when your feet are level). If your ceiling is lower than that number, then it will not work for you.

The pedals are not horizontal when inclined to the maximum angle. The uppermost point, where the back of your heel may be is 22.5 inches from the floor. I have eight foot ceilings and my 5'10' son has no problem. If you are taller than that, a 7'8" ceiling may be an issue.

I love this bike. I would consider this bike more petite or compact than others i have seen or used. The lowest seat height position from the floor up measures around 34" or just under 3 feet. The seat also adjusts forward an back for proper positioning and comes with a manual to show you this positioning.

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

Hi Rebecca! I purchased the Schwinn Elliptical 431 and I am just 4'11" tall and found that this trainer is perfect for me. I cannot use most of the elliptical trainers at my club because of their long stride. This is a perfect fit for me. I grab the center part of the handlebars rather than the ends (though I am able to do both) and have found it to be quite comfortable. The stride is perfect for the petite person! This trainer would not be the best for a really tall person. My husband is 5'11" and finds the stride and handle bars to be terrific. Lee

Hi Eunice,It isn't really about height, but about leg length. With the machine at the closest setting, it is about 24 inches from where your leg would start to the end of the pedal, so if your leg is 24 inches or longer from the upper thigh to your toe, you should be able to adjust the bike to the point you can comfortably pedal the bike. Hope this helps.r/Jim

As the pedals are slightly tilted forward, the back of the pedal is th highest part. It reaches a maximum height if 11 inches from the ground.

From the floor to the pedal at the highest point is 11". Unless you have very long legs it should work. I'm 5' 6" and put it under my desk at home and it was fine. You can always return it if it doesn't work for you. It is very quiet.

Hi Anne! I just went and measured mine and here are the numbers for you: 16 3/4" W, 17.5" D + 2.5" for foot pedal, and 26 1/4" H. Hope this helps. I still love mine and with lemon oil they clean up and look like new.

I just measured with the seat in the lowest position and it's 17 inches to the nearest pedal and 25 inches to the farthest pedal. I think it might work for you.
