When you use the upper body pedals, do the lower pedals also spin?

Yes, absolutely. I think it's an asset to improving the work-out. Even though they both movre in tandem, it's easy to alternate force to upper pedals and lower pedals making it possible to select which muscle group that you would like to give more emphasis to. And it is a good workout and enjoyable. Thanks, Steve G.

no...they are attached to the pedals and always are moving...although my wife pedals a lot without using the handles, they are not stationary...bob r.

Not a spinning-style workout since you can't stand up. But the tension adjusts so if you pedal hard at high tension, you can get your heart rate up. You're just stuck sitting the entire time.

Yes, you can pedal in reverse, and it will still add miles/count your pedaling. (At times, it does seem to stop counting if you switch from standing with the elliptical to sitting and bicycling.) I have thoroughly enjoyed this smaller elliptical with the added seat compared to much more expensive brands without the seat feature.

It doesn't just spin. Its that "ratchety" turn, like each turn clicks into s gear, but it doesn't audibly click. Hope that helped.

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.

Yeah, both sides have teeth, no need to flip the pedals. Tip: pull off the reflectors for even lower weight. I definitely recommend these pedals.

No the resistance and monitor do not work when pedaling backwards. You can still pedal backwards but with no resistance possible.

Yes . You just flip it over to use the lower ones incase you want to do a deeper squat position

Yes, you can! There is even a reverse train workout that cues you to pedal forwards and backwards at different intervals.

No. The only control you have is to increase or decrease the speed. It does the pedaling for you. We use it to maintain movement in joints, not to strengthen muscles.

The hand wringer is as affective as the foot pedal. My assumption is that even being one system/device for both, it works differently. I just checked mine by watching close while spinning both ways. It was an independent spinn-off. Also the pedal is very sturdy. The pedal will never deteriorate and break if you keep that part away from water with an average use.

No, it doesn't spin or rotate, you have to do that with your hand motions but I have found that is better for me, spin ones sometimes get caught and pull my hair, again that is just me, I have pretty long hair.

Probably. The left pedals haft has a reverse thread, which may be normal. The pedals are quite comfortable, though I didn't install the straps--this way I can take my feet off easier for just upper body work.

None. However I do have to readjust the position periodically so I may spin the rear wheel without the arms on the stand touching spokes or gears. On my friend's bike he didn't have to worry about this but because of the shape of my specialized I experienced this.

Yes. You just have to get used to flipping the pedal into position with your toe.

I'm not sure what you mean by "dual pedals." It comes with what you can see in the picture. Strap on top and flat bottom when you flip it over. Is that a dual pedal? Sorry.
