What's the height of the pedals? (I'm trying to figure out how tall I'd be while on the machine to make sure I have enough ceiling clearance)"

The highest point reached at mid-pedal is 18", but you really couldn't get yourself 18 inches off the ground, because even if you were trying to straighten out your knee, at that point, the pedal is descending as you take weight off the other foot. It doesn't operate the same way a bicycle pedal does. After experimenting, I managed to top my standing height by 14 inches. Add two for peace of mind and you've got 16" max. (I should note that I had to really work to get myselt that high - I was going like sixty!)

I'm six foot and I have more than enough headroom with an 8 foot high ceiling. A pedal at the bottom of it's orbit would be about 6 inches off the floor.

In the bottom position the pedal is seven inches off the ground. At the highest position, in the highest end of the pedal, it's 17.5" When the pedals go up, they angle and the back end of the pedal is higher than the front by about 3".

when standing on the machine with pedals side by side the pedals are about 10 inches off the ground.

I believe the manual says the platform height is 16". I am 6'4" and am working with only an 8 foot ceiling. I have about 6" tp spare when working the machine. It poses no issues for me.

3 inches when it is at the bottom. The highest one is 13 inches but your knee is bent. The highest for both legs would be 6.5 inches when both pedals are at the same height.

The pedals are adjustable. At the lowest setting, the higher pedal is 15" from the floor. I'm 5'6" and have 7" ceilings, and this works perfectly for me. I hope it works for you too!

The 470 schwinn model that I have really is 70.1 inches at the base when the machine is not in use. Allot for a couple of more inches front and back for the stride in the pedals when you are using it.

Matt, I think about 1 1/2 feet (come to my knees and I'm 5'7") when the pedals are raised to 100% incline setting.

Do you mean what the measurement is floor to ceiling of the machine our what height the petals are

At an incline of 15, the foot pedals are 18" off of the floor. I am 5'5" and at the highest point, I measure approximately 83" from the floor at the maximum workout height.

At the Highest setting the pedal is angled down. The back of the pedal is 1 foot 11 inches and the front is 1 foot 7 inches. At the lowest setting the pedal is angled down. The back of the pedal is 1 foot 6 inches and the front of the pedal is at 1 foot 4 inches. I always use the elliptical at it's lowest setting.

The machines is 80 inches tall. So I would say you'd want a ceiling that is at least 81 inches high. You'll probably put it on a matt that is a half-inch thick, so your absolute minimum ceiling height should be 81 inches. My celing is 83 inches high, and this machine has about an inch and a half clearance (I have a half-inch thick matt on the floor.)

Your height is not a problem. There is no pedals, you are going to strap your feet into the straps so any person of any size will not have any problems. It is a great machine for the money!

I have not measured. But honestly, not much. The handles do not go far beyond the front of the machine and the pedals stay within the body of the machine as you use it. You could use in a small space as long as you have a decently high ceiling.

Mind you, when I bought these, there was no size options. What I got is probably one size fits all.The distance from the bottom mounting holes to the end of the basket is about 2.75 inches. The origin8 pedals are about 2.5 inches so thats a pretty solid 5.25" inches. I'm shoe size 11.5 (US) and these things have saved my hide a couple times every time the pedals suddenly bottom out when the transmission misfires shifting and they practically catch me from falling off the bike. Be safe, get these.

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

The midpoint of the pedal at the highest level is 15 inches; added to your height if fully erect is 89 inches; ceiling is 92 inches...should work fine.

I am 5' 1" and can't reach the pedals. I am looking for a nice cool back cushion to place on it to get me closer.

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.
