Description
Overview
The ElliptiGO 3C is a stand-up, long-stride elliptical bike for roads and paths. There is no seat: the rider stands on two foot platforms and drives them in an elliptical path, much like the motion of a gym elliptical trainer, and the drive turns the rear wheel through an internally geared hub.
Gears are changed with a trigger shifter on the handlebar, and the stride length and steering height are set to suit the rider. For storage or transport, the front wheel comes off and the bike stands 27 inches (70 cm) tall using the steering extender.

- Mostly flat routes, given the 5% climbing rating
- Riders who prefer to exercise outdoors rather than on a gym elliptical
Things to consider
- At 75 inches long and 42 lb (19.1 kg), it needs garage or storage space and some strength to lift
- It is ridden standing with no seat, and riders must be 250 lb or under
- Tires, tubes, brake pads and other wear parts need replacing over time and are covered only for manufacturing defects
- Wear a helmet, and check with a clinician before starting a new exercise routine, especially after surgery or an injury
