Riding an ElliptiGO bike is not like simply standing up and riding a traditional bike. The fully supported foot platforms of ElliptiGO bikes provide a stable, more comfortable ride. The upright riding position also improves visibility with a level, elevated line of site.
The vertical, weight-bearing riding position helps to rev your cardiovascular system and build a more efficient blood-pumping “engine.”
The unique architecture of elliptical bikes develops the muscles of your legs, glutes and core more effectively – and in a more balanced manner – than traditional bikes.
The ergonomic, neutral position of riding a stand up bike removes neck, back and seat pain that can stem from sitting hunched over on the saddle of a traditional bike.
ElliptiGO bikes allow you to take the workout outside, where you can enjoy the same streets, routes and paths that you typically walk, jog, run or bike.
To maintain balance and adjust to ever-changing conditions (road, wind, other riders, etc.), riding an ElliptiGO bike constantly works your core in ways a stationary machine can’t.
The patented motion and narrower stance of ElliptiGO bikes reduces stress on the feet, ankles and knees, while also more closely resembling the traditional walking, jogging and running motion.
ElliptiGO bikes provide a variety of stride-length settings to match your comfort level and range of motion needs, while also providing a range of motion nearly a half-foot larger than the industry standard for indoor elliptical trainers.
