Jennifer,
Guess I did neglect to state the brand of wheel that I am describing. =
My wheel is also a Pacifica. I have tinkered with the foot feed so that =
it is not so sensitive, in other words there is a little resistance =
adjusted into the pedal so that it stays put precisely where it is left. =
Then gently tapped to modify the speed. Again just my preference, but =
having both feet flat on the ground (a good anti-stress matt) is much =
more comfortable for me.
Another slight change that I have made in my adjustment to electric is =
to approach the wheel from the side rather than from the usual front =
(the bottom of the triangle on the Pacifica). Allowing me to get =
several inches closer to the work this way, which somehow seems more =
familiar (like my old kickwheel).
