As a 3-decade amateur ultra endurance racer, this machine was a revelation to me! I’m no longer able to run much without constant foot and ankle pain, and having been hit by a car a decade ago while cycling on the road, I’ve continued training mostly indoors on my bike and missing my run miles (walking just isn’t the same and frequently causes ankle pain). Riding my ElliptiGo around my neighborhood is a blast and I can get a great workout climbing hills on it. (And I turn heads and hear “Wow— that’s cool!” a lot—or maybe it’s my neon bike helmet!). I was a bit worried when I first got on it, until I realized I had the front wheel/handlebar rotated 180—once I corrected that, it was a breeze to ride! (Don’t make that stupid mistake!) I’d highly recommend this as a substitute/supplement for running at any age; I wish I’d had one back when I was still racing triathlons.

Great 8C!
I am very pleased with the ElliptiGO 8C I recently purchased. It is a great tool for cross training. I really like the quality and engineering of the product. It is efficient, well put together, and operates very smoothly. Very nice when you want to feel connected to the bike.

Love this ElliptiGo!
I have been a runner for 50 years, unable to run for the last 7 months due to plantar fasciitis that won't heal. My ElliptiGo is saving my life, no kidding! Great workout. Outdoors! Also hones your balance which is important for us older folks. I had a few issues when I got the ElliptiGo (bad inner tube, cracked roller) and the company responded FAST and got me the parts I needed (free).
It's a life saver for anyone who needs an alternative to running, or wants a better workout than biking.
