Does this eliptical have more of a stride.. slide movement of the pedals or like a standing bicycle , up and down kind of movement?

More like a standing bicycle in terms of the up/down movement, but it is not that pronounced. Definitely not a cross country skiing machine movement back and forth. I just measured the differential between the height variance of the pedals as they move and its about 8" as they pass the mid point. Hope that helps.

It's not up and down per se, it can be I'd you make the pitch of the stride steep. I like it on 4 with 2 for resistance. Irs very smirk and your quads will look great!

I would say more up and down then some ellipticals, but not the same as a straight stepper.

The pedals move the wheel. Pedals stop, wheel stops. Pedals have a foot clasp so when you stop pedeling the wheel stops. I like the machine. Works good. The best I found for the price. Seat a bit narrow (or my backside a bit wide). I use additional padding on the seat.

This has an incredibly smooth pedaling mechanism. I am about 240 lbs and it is very stable, even at my weight. I hope this helps!

Yep, the bike must be in motion with the pedals moving. This is pretty much true of all dérailleur systems. Enjoy! I still have mine and though I've had to make small adjustments, it still rides great.

I wish there was a little more resistance in the pedal up and down movement. The unit is light weight, and made of plastic, but I've given it a lot of pounding without any trouble. And dropped it a couple of times.

As a cyclist, I was hopping it would ... but it does not. While it does register some movement it is no where near the number of rotations your legs make on the bike. I did a 25 mile ride and it registered less than 4,000 steps.

No, it's a normal stride. The treadles are not paced apart. The overall width is the same as a treadmill belt, but just split at the middle to give it the "step-like" motion.

No, it is easy to play and my girls like to use it as an alternative to their baby grand sometimes. Only problem, is no foot pedals.

We chose this particular model because the width was smaller than the other ones. With this generation, you can "rock" on the bicycle, ie, stand pedal, but it can be a little scary. My husband did it too much one time and the machine unhooked from the bicycle and he fell. So you can rock on it, but not too hard.

Yes, it does move very easily. Unfortunately, it doesn't exhibit a static friction coefficient.

I'm not sure what type of movement you mean but the the bouncing is is triggered easily. I have not had an issue with the entire base sliding. If the base is scooting easily on the floor I would be concerned.

Yes, pedals are bidirectional. The odometer will only function in the traditional forward motion.

Well, the pedals don't move unless you make them. The only time I really need to pedal is sometimes on a steep uphill climb or when the battery pack runs low.

No movement. You can watch some videos related to his model. Its pretty good for its price. Of course it will have some movements but not something really shaky. I have been using it for a while and its serving me pretty goo.

Not really ,moves together with the pedals and there is no resistance adjustment.

No the pedals and stride are not adjustable. The distance of the stride is between 18 or 20.

Well, you can kind of just bounce or slide it along but if you really need to move you'll have to get up and walk with it.
