    Ordered one of these tonight - my Xmas present to me

    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.

    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.

    That's a beauty will do they make them for men? If you get the clingy biker shorts then we will need to do a 2018 mens calendar "The F6B Hunks" featuring BIGLRY, Phantom and Steve in Speedos, Shortleg, me and Walcrow in mankinis and anybody else to round out the year, I think it'll give the "FDNY Hunks" a run for their money.

    We can plan a Photo shoot at the upcoming Rally's next year. Wouldn't that be a gas?

    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
