It is this flywheel that enables the hand grips and pedals to function. The flywheel weight depends on how smooth the elliptical trainer channelizes it.

The foot pedals play a significant role, as they give a smooth workout experience. The few important things to note with the foot pedals are:
- The cushioning of the foot pedal, while some come out with tread (this helps to place the foot firmly).

- Lastly, certain elite models of ellipticals provide the other advantage of adjustable foot pedals.
