ElliptiGO 3C Bike - Jogging on Air: ElliptiGO 3C is a bicycle that you need to run. Sounds strange? Yes, this is a one-of-a-kind bike that let’s you ride the bike using a jogging/running motion. This is the world’s first elliptical bike. Coming in three speeds, the rider (or should we say the runner) can expect to get different degrees of workouts. From what we have seen, ElliptiGO seems to have been inspired by a unique need of the times. People are often caught between the best form of exercise. Is it jogging? Is it bicycling? How about doing both? And how about doing both at one time? This is where ElliptiGO rides in.
3C is the new model and is priced slightly lesser than the first model. At $1800, you get a unique bike that let’s you jog as well. Wow! It’s surely inspiring enough to start exercising.
All types of users can hop onto the ElliptiGO. Accommodating short and tall people (up to 6′8″), the bike is for all generations of users. It comes in three colors – vivid green, black and orange.
So how does ElliptiGO help and whom? This bike is great for overweight people. Plagued by knee problems, they would not be able to run. Overweight people are known to have knee and joint problems when they run. They also find it difficult to bicycle since half the time they are avoiding a fall rather than bicycling. Using ElliptiGO, overweight people or anyone for that matter, can protect their knees. Making this possible is the movement required to move ElliptiGO forward. A running motion makes the bicycle move forward. Riders need not jar their knees, or put pressure on them, and yet feel their running motion.
ElliptiGO is made from aluminum alloys, which makes it light. With customized gearing and a Sturmey-Archer three-speed internally-geared hub ElliptiGO is used best on flat surfaces. It can easily attain speeds of 12mph to 25 mph.
