Does your riding position change very much? Leg position or hand position?

Mine changed a bit to be honest, but we have a mountain bike. We have friends that bought the seat for their beach cruiser and they have no position change. Even with a bit of "knee bumping" i would still recommend this seat for sure. The kids LOVE it! and it is worth it.

Not really, it just changes your center of gravity, so it's a little harder to steer, especially with a bigger baby (mine is 17 mos. old) he loves it though!

Very slightly... I find that I position my arms wider than normal, but not in an uncomfortable way... I have not really thought much about it but I would guess that my hands are further out towards the ends of the grips because of this.

It almost depends on what type of bike you have. But that being said I have a commuter style bike and your legs do kind of have to go "out" a little more when you pedal. It's not bad though, it just takes some getting used to.

Not much. Your knees might go out a little, but not enough to make a tangible difference. You may or may not be able to bend your arms a lot depending on how big you are (I'm short waisted so my arms stay pretty straight). You can't lean forward as much hence the impact on the arms. The taller you are the more you'd be able to lean over and bend your elbows.

I would use my hands all the time. Keep your good foot on the footrest. It is safer there. I never use my leg to propel the wheelchair. Doesn't work all that well that way. Wheels easily using your hands on the larger wheel. Good luck. Hope you heal quickly.

One hand on handle slanting the seat so only the two outside legs touch a non slippery surface (shorten the middle leg setting if necessary). Other hand on seat front. Push down on the handle while pulling the seat-front toward you.

Somewhat awkward, because you have to spread your knees. I avoid rides more than 5-6 miles for this reason-it kills my knees. But I love having him on front (and this is the only seat that fit on my bike, front or back).

Slightly forward. I watched a YouTube video on making my adjustments. Just google "how do I adjust my saddle stool?" And see if it comes up.

Depending on the width of your hand you coyld cut the grip on the open side allowing it to slide all the way on. I definitely recommend against riding with the grip half way on, if something happens and you reach for that grip in a hurry and it folds down you could get seriously injured. Ie; broken teeth cheek bone jaw or even put you over the bars which can break your collar bone back or neck. DONT DO IT

Yes, what I do is switch the way I use it, I use it sitting position the flaps going upward while sitting and work the thighs, then stand and do a couple that way as well.

My hand and fingers fit behind the shaft on the grip but I hold it where my index finger is in front of the shaft and the rest of my fingers are behind the shaft. I believe the split finger hold provides better balance than the offset position.

No vert movement. A slight bit of rotational play but not noticeable when when the rubber meets the dirt. Anything that you might feel is far outweighed by the bennifits of being able to get the seat out of the way when bombing the downhill... Happy riding!!

Do the leg rests elevate to adjust to different positions? I will need to elevate my leg higher than the photo indicates. Thank you!

Don't know. Neither my husband nor myself, both wheelies, use the leg rest. Sorry.

Yes, when peddling there is some compliance side to side. So, it allows a more realistic feel. You can also stand up.

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.

There is no feedback on the monitor regarding tension. It's strictly feel. I get continuity between workouts by adjusting the crank to the first touch. I warm up for a couple of minutes there, then increase tension by set amounts - quarter turns or eighth turns from there. It actually goes smoothly and reliably. My basic ride profile is a mountain top finish with ever increasing tension.

The position is definitely different, and I usually turn the strength down a bit. That's the female version.

I can't stand up and pedal on mine; it didn't feel sturdy when I tried. However, one style of riding I've used is similar to running while seated. I can pump my arms and legs in a running style, all the while seated. I've ridden over 400 miles now and love the convenience to exercise in my home.

A fair amount, my daughter is quite tall for 5yrs. the throttle is placed forward (right side) shouldn't be an issue. IMO pressing with the toes/ ball of the foot gives more control.
