Elliptical Bicycle

From Neatorama: "ElliptiGo is a combination of a stationary elliptical trainer and a bicycle. It looks a bit unstable to me, but the official website says that it was successfully used on the grueling 129-mile Death Ride in California. What do you think — is this a useful exercise tool?"

they brought these to my work for earth day and i rode one around the parking lot. pretty cool, a little bit more strenuous then a bicycle, and i had a little trouble with turning... it's fun though.

also very expensive.

Wheels need to be much much larger. This sucks because you can't go very fast on it under your own power. You need more leverage. Multiple gears would be nice also, once you upgrade the wheel size.


Just FYI, it does have gears, although it could probably use more. I'm sure there's some reasoning for the small wheels... handling, storage, etc. I didn't have a problem getting it up to a good speed.

Okay, well from the looks of this video, they're looking like they're getting close to max speed on those things. Doesn't feel fast enough to me.
