I feel so young and powerful with my ElliptiGO!
I've always wanted an elliptical bike, and I finally was able to purchase one. My research led me to ElliptoGO. My bike is unique and fun, even though it's hard and an incredible workout! I decided subsequently to purchase the stand for conversion to a stationary bike, because I love being able to use the bike in bad weather as well as for short bursts to alleviate stress during my working-from-home work day, even in bare feet! I think using it as a stationary bike has also increased my ability to ride outdoors. I added toe cages, and now have the confidence to use them outdoors too. I have the Arc 8, but I'd really love to be able to upgrade to a full-stride bike! I have found that on lower gears, at least indoors, the Arc 8 has a jolt as it cycles from up to down motion which is a slight jar on the knees. I seem to be moving through this as I am able to build strength and work at the highest gears. I suspect the full-stride models don't have this issue. Still, mine is perfect for now.
