I'm 5' tall, with limited range of motion with my left leg. Will this model be adjustable for my height?

Yes... I am also disabled and I can't pick my leg up at all. You don't have to step up to get on it or get off of it it's very easy for me to access and it is adjustable I'm 5-3 and I could pull it much closer than I have it. I have to manually put my feet into the foot pedals but this is the best form of exercise I've been able to use so far. I love it and I just need a little bit more discipline to make sure I'm on that baby every day!

Is there a way to smooth the pedal motion? There appears to be some "jerkiness"

The jerkiness I experienced was from me not maintaining a smooth pedaling motion. Flywheels operate on the physics of stored rotational (kinetic) energy. Since this machine's flywheel and pedals are not totally fixed to one another, as the flywheel attempts to maintain its current speed, backing off the pedal rotational speed will cause a lag were the flywheel kicks into the pedal in its attempt to maintain its stored rotational energy.

I find with these bikes, sometimes the seat is so smooth, you slide down. Does this happen with this model?

I did 35 minutes on the bike tonight (my second session) and never felt uncomfortable, or felt the need to adjust my seating. The handle bars down at your hips are angled up at the ends, so I suppose grabbing on the angle portion would allow you to push yourself back against the back rest if you felt you were slipping forward.

Great bike! How do you work the computer part of the bike...am lost..:(

1: After you begin to pedal, you will see the computer screen flash the various read-out modes in sequence. If you want to see them all the time do nothing to the computer. 2: If you want to view just one of the modes all the time, wait till it appears, then momentarily press the "MODE" button--that will "lock" that mode into continuous viewing. 3: If you want to reset any of the mode values, stop pedaling and wait for the word "STOP" to appear on the left side of the read-out. At this point, momentarily press the "RESET" button--that will zero out whichever mode you have chosen ( I only reset elapsed time at the end of the day). Then you may continue to pedal. I hope this helps.
