Injured Runner/Senior Citizen
by Diane C. from Monroe Twp. NJ
I absolutely love the ElliptiGo 3C. It is so much easier than running (on the body) and so much more fun to do. The only place I ride is around my community, but it is really enjoyable. One main difference between the 3C & running. If one needs a break, they can always coast. Can't coast when running. I ride as often as possible 4 - 6 days per week at minimum for 1/2 hr. each time. Ellipti-GO - seniors!

Orange 3C
by Francisco from Tampa, Florida
I have had my Elliptigo 3C for about 3 months and almost 200 miles. I ride it 7 miles a day 5 days a week in and around bike trails and sometimes traffic. I have had it up to 23 MPH but on average it goes about 17 MPH against the wind. Considering it weighs in at 37 lbs its a miracle I could maintain that speed for long but you’ll notice that it glides nicely when coasting. I currently have my Elliptigo in the shop to repair some hub noise and I cant wait to get it back.

Orange & Green Elliptigos
by Dan & Rhonda from Glen Carbon, Illinois
Went on my first ride this moning. Passed several other serious bicycle riders. It felt like running with no impact. I felt it in my stomach muscles as well as my glutes and hamstrings. Better than running on your knees and more fun. At first I thought it wouldn't be a good workout because it would move with little effort. After I went the first ten miles of a twenty mile ride I started feeling it. Amazing my wife and I love it.

Wow, the leg pump....
by Mike Bradbury from Fort Wayne, IN
VERY impressed with the level of full leg pump I experienced. The build quality is exceptional. The welds and powdercoat are gorgeous. A first class product. I DO think that in a short time I'm going to want more than 3 speeds though. For higher top end, not lower for hills. Bottom line, I'm going to LOVE it. I love cycling but not the hours it takes. I like how much more effort this takes, that I'll be able to be flogged in a hour (when I work up to that!).

ElliptiGO everywhere! There is no place you can't go or wouldn't want to take the ElliptiGO!
by Mary Ritter Myers from Solana Beach, CA
When I first saw the ElliptiGO on the street I couldn't help but itch for a spin around town. Then I started seeing some marketing for it so I did my own research, and found the company was literallly in my backyard. When the company invited me to take a sneak preview test ride of the 3C, I was very excited! Being a person that enjoys the outdoors especially for exercise I wondered if this would give me the cardio push I needed to feel like I accomplished a workout. Being a runner and a cyclist, the ElliptiGO appealed to me because of the ability to stand up, instead of being hunched over handlebars and having a low impact, high cardio workout. The ElliptiGO not only proved me right but went beyond what I could have imagined. On the 3C, I was able to climb some mild hills, achieve speed on flat terrain, get full body movement and be outdoors. This not only proved to me that the ultimate athlete can use it but also the less athletic person that wants to get outdoors, get some movement, and feel like they've gotten a dose of fitness for a day...all without feeling like a workout. I also liked that you work your core as well without realizing you're doing it.

The most fun I've had in years!
by Bob Fleet from Solana Beach, CA
As an avid biker and runner, I couldn't wait to try the new Elliptigo 3C. The few times I have seen them around town I was very compelled-they just look fun! Needless to say I had high expectations. After the 1st 100 yards I knew those expectations would be exceeded. After the 20 minute demo, I decided to buy one! It's nice to have a new, high quality, low impact, outdoor toy that's so much fun to ride. I'm hooked!

Liked the 3C...But for Hills I'd Need More Gears
by Paul Taylor from Ramona, CA
Overall, the ElliptiGO 3C was very well handling and easy to ride compared to other 2 wheeled vehicles. The 3C brakes were easy to apply and I felt confident I could stop the 3C in an emergency stop. The 3C felt very stable under hard braking. For me and where I would ride though, the 3C needed two additional lower gear ratios. The hills on my test ride in Encinitas were difficult to climb without lower gears. The ElliptiGO Inc. representative I rode with said I am probably a better match for the ElliptiGO 8-speed product and I agree.The down shifts were smooth to engage, but up-shifts seemed a little “clunky.” The handle bar comfort seems good and the adjustability is a good feature, although I did not adjust anything. The overall appearance of the 3c is clean and racy with the orange color.
