Discover ElliptiGo

elliptigo riders group shot — An ElliptiGo is an adventure in fitness.

Yes, while some of our guests ride bicycles and ebikes, we prefer to tour Europe on ElliptiGos. Why?

We attended every bicycle trade show for the since 1979 and in that time seen some really lame, weird, and flat out useless contraptions. But ElliptiGo was the first genuinely new and useful bicycle since the mountain bike.

Not a toy

Humans were made to run. Our legs, posture, heart and lungs evolved so we could compete with other fleet footed animals for survival. ElliptigGo harnesses your natural running ability. It leverages that power with one of mankind’s greatest inventions, the bicycle.

By evolving the mechanics of the elliptical trainer, an ElliptiGo bike propels its rider from two to ten times a running pace. Instead of running 5 miles you cover 15 in the same time. And you do it without impact to ankles, knees, hips, or back.

Learning comes naturally

If you ride a bike you can ride an Elliptigo. This video proves it.

The view is better 14 inches above the ground

ElliptiGos are fun! SUV drivers literally look up to you. The 20″wheels are light, the high pressure tires respond instantly. The ElliptiGo frame is engineered of 7000 series alloy to deliver your energy efficiently to the ground. The steering column adjusts for runner height, the treadles adjust for stride length.

Choose your gears

suburban riders — It turns your neighborhood into your gym. It turns every workout into a tour around town.

Choose the 8-speed 8C for best value on flats and hills. Gearing lets you hold your comfortable pace as the road changes beneath you. And for serious distance there’s the 11-speed 11R.

The 8-speed features Shimano’s finest Alfina internal gearing, refined from their Nexus line. Found on $3,000 urban and trekking bicycles the Alfina hub can be shifted both coasting and under moderate pedal effort.

High gear on the 8 speed models is good for around 25 mph! Low will get you up 8 to 9%. ElliptiGos climb far better than you might expect– better than some bicycles,in fact– because 1.) your legs are made for climbing,and 2.) Elliptigos are designed to leverage that climbing ability.

All our rental Elliptigos in Europe are 8-speed 8Cs.
