Trying to determine if this will work in my basement (6'10" ceiling). How much does this add to the riders height so I can determine if my ceiling height is an issue?

Hi Marie,My ceiling is 7'3" and I'm 5'9". With the incline at 100% My head clears by about 1 or 2 inches. If you don't use the incline at 100% you should be ok. It adds between 15 and 18 inches to your height.

I used the LS13.0E-2 in a 2nd floor room where the ceiling is just under 8 feet. I am 5-7 and don't hit the ceiling. The lower foot pad is 12 inches above the floor and the upper foot pad is 20 inches above but the knee is bent here.

Our ceiling is 7'6" and I am 5'9" and I have six inches left till I hit the ceiling so unless he's pretty short I would say look at something different.

I am 5'-10" with an 88" ceiling height. I have the same question. Spoke with Schwinn customer service but they couldn't help. Suggested I go to a store and try it out and measure how high my head goes!

HI, I put mine in my bedroom and the ceiling is 8 feet. I have a 14 speed low bar road bike on the top and it is a foot below the ceiling. If your ceiling is 8 feet in the shed I would think it would work. I hope that helps.

Oh you have a high ceiling, it will extend up to 10ft. But u can use some extender like bricks/hallow blocks at the bottom. I recommend u this product because u gonna have a show room bike rack like. I should know because I put mine inside my room where my babies are sitting. Its a good buy.

If necessary you can raise the entire unit 7-8 inches using leg extensions, sold separately for 10 bucks. I did this because I have high ceilings, and it worked like a charm. I really love this piece.

I have a 10' ceiling in my garage and the bar will lower all the way to the floor. Based on that I would say in your garage it would lower to 4' off the ground.

I have it in my basement. My three kids (age 2, 5, and 7) can all bounce without hitting ceiling. It is not a high ceiling (standard ceiling height). It is awesome because we live in AK and my kids get on it everyday. My 7 yr old will probably be too tall to bounce in house next year.

I have it installed in my 275cm ceiling, which is about 9 foot. I am not sure it will run to 12"6 (ays 9.5 foot / 114 inches on the specs) as it will get pretty flimsy extended much further than it is on mine. It does work great though. Real space saver. If you can find another space in your apartment then go for it. Excellent value.

I have mine on a nine ft ceiling and it is about right so I would probably do just fine at 10ft. I doesn't move a lot of air if you have a large space though.

It's a little over 6 feet tall. Normal ceilings and you won't have a problem...

Wow, that's a low ceiling. I don't think it will accommodate. Our ceiling where we used to have our old elliptical is 7 feet, and my husband who is 6'6" was able to manage, but your feet with this elliptical are really high off the ground.. almost 2' at highest level. I am 5'7" and would just be able to fit with that room. But because it doesn't for my husband, we moved it to our unfinished part of the basement, and his head has to go between the rafters!

Absolutely will work, ours is attached to a large screw eye in our ceiling joist. I found we were happier when the screw eye was close to a basement wall. With it close to the wall you can put your feet against the wall for some exercises.

The question is what is your ceiling height. It can be used with any ceiling height, from 8' up to 22' as long as you have the space under it for lower ceilings (8'). Higher ceilings are more challenging over 12' because you would have to use a ladder to get the bicycles down, which could be dangerous without assistance. That being said my customer love their Saris Cycle Glide. - Indy Monster Garage

I had the same concern when I bought this machine. Our ceiling in our gym is only 7'6" but I still have more than the width of my hand above my head when I'm on the machine. I'm 5'11". Hope that helps.

I think it would be close. I'm 6' tall but I only invert to the second notch. I can feel my back stretching along with the other joints in my body. I took the stop bar out completely and inverted it to see how close my feet would be to the ceiling. It would be very close either way with full inversion at your height. Personally, I think you would get great results even if you couldn't invert all the way. If you have a long torso and short legs I think you could fully invert, but it would be close.

Dear Customer:Although the unit itself will clear your basement ceiling, however, it is important to know what is the height of your kid(s).You would need to used their over-height, and then add 36" to it, and if that would cleared the ceiling, it would be OK.
