They only go on sale once a year (Black Friday) and I have been patiently waiting. Great for cardio and since my back is all 'effed up these machines are better for me than pounding the pavement (running). I've test ridden them before and they really fit/match my physical limitations very well

I have a Street Strider (below) but it is difficult to use on some of the bike trail hills around here. It's a very awesome workout but... I most likely will be selling this shortly after I receive my Elliptigo.

You are definitely a man that thinks in different ways .

True dat

Definitely a purpose and need for these contraptions though. I cant ride a regular bike due to my lower back unable to tolerate the hunched over positioning, as well as my hands always going numb. I found the Street Strider to give me an excellent cardio workout; i normally take it around the BWI airport bike trail (10 miles) however some of the hills are just too much for me and it. It does have a 8 speed rear gear hub but I end up having to push it up some of the hills...

The Elliptigo is better suited for the type of bike trail riding that I do... it's faster and narrower so it's easier to maneuver with oncoming cyclist traffic. My Street Strider can be challenging at times with sharing the trail with others... the BWI rail gets pretty busy sometimes and I like to slew it back and forth as I'm getting winded... which takes up a lot of parrallel space on the trails.

Here's two comparison video's

Maybe you can take a look and see if we can figure out a way
to use that 8 speed rear on our f6bs.

I ordered one a few months back, but I opted for the deluxe model with heated grips, center stand, and cruise control.
