For those looking to most closely emulate the running experience, we highly recommend you consider one of our elliptical bikes, the ElliptiGO 3C, 8C or 11R which have a long-stride length and muscle activation closest to running. That said, if the elliptical bikes exceed your budget, our stand-up bikes are a great alternative and a better option compared to a traditional bicycle. To help determine which model is best for you, we encourage you to take our bike finder quiz.
