ElliptiGO

I got an ElliptiGO because I have back issues when running and conventional biking. I am able to ride the GO with no problems whatsoever and it’s a ton of fun. I’ve ridden in the Catskill Mountains and Cape Cod Rail Trail and have kept up with my wife on her road bike. And I’ve gotten great personal support from the office anytime I call.

I used to be a runner, but due to back issues I had to quit running back in 2011. I had heard about the ElliptiGO and decided to try it out at a local dealership. Loved it! I’ve had my GO since 2011 and it truly helped me make the transition from being a runner to a “non-runner”. I ran in most of the local races and really miss running, but my GO is the next-best thing (or perhaps the better thing as there is no more wear and tear on body parts!) and I highly recommend it to people who love to stay active and have fun doing it!

This hitch rack has worked perfectly! It is used with a 2" receiver hitch on a Ford Expedition. (Previously, I transported the bike by removing the telescoping handlebars and putting the GO inside the vehicle. While this mostly worked, the handlebars inevitably scratched the GO each time. Using the rack removes this hassle, and is easier to use as well.) Upon initial receipt of the rack, I was a little confused as to what the end state should be, but Keri in support was very helpful in clearing up the confusion quickly. With the GO mounted closest to the vehicle, there was a little concern with the handlebars tapping against the back window while driving, but judicial use of a tie strap (pulling the opposite end of the rack closer to the vehicle, thus pulling the handlebar side a little further away) quickly addressed this concern. The Expedition is tall enough that this is likely not an issue with most passenger vehicles. It has all been smooth sailing since then.

As an owner of the original 8S for 5 years (and counting!) I have always found Bryan and the Team to be more than obliging with assistance and technical help. The online community is fabulous and I am proud to be a part of the Global Elliptigo Riders Club. It's more than just a bike - you make friends, get fit and have so much fun! Would absolutely recommend!

I love the hard workout without any impact on my knees or back. And I love standing versus sittting. I've had my "bike" for 5 years and it sturdy and reliable.
