What if you could run, sprint, and climb hills and never be sidelined by impact-related injuries? On the ElliptiGO 8C, you'll get a high-intensity workout without the jarring impact of running or the discomfort of traditional cycling. It's perfect for fitness enthusiasts or cross-training athletes who will ride on flat and hilly terrain and desire a wide range of workout resistance levels.
So what's an elliptical bicycle?
At its core, the ElliptiGO is a fitness device that emulates running outdoors without the associated impact. It was designed by runners to be the ideal low-impact substitute for running. We believe it is the ideal cross-training device for healthy runners and the best replacement for running for injured runners. It delivers an exercise experience that is closer to running than anything else available today.
Many different names for the product have emerged recently, including elliptical exercise cycle, stand-up bike, mobile elliptical trainer, mobile cross-trainer, and outdoor elliptical trainer.
Regardless of the moniker, there are four fundamental attributes of an elliptical bicycle:
- It is used outdoors
- It has two wheels
- It is propelled by an elliptical motion that emulates running
- It performs similarly to a conventional road bike in terms of speed and handling
Elliptical bikes enable people to take low-impact weight-bearing exercise outdoors. Studies show that people tend to exercise longer, more intensely, and more consistently when they are able to do so outdoors. As a result, elliptical bikes provide people with a great way to get fit and stay active for years to come.
