Slight dilemma, which bike?
Ok, I was looking for a serious machine to use for an upcoming century, I have it narrowed down to the following choices:
https://www.elliptigo.com/products/elliptigo-3c/
or
https://www.elliptigo.com/products/elliptigo-8c/
https://www.elliptigo.com/products/elliptigo-3c/
or

I have the 8S and have just upgraded to the 11spd setup. If you go for the 3C and want to upgrade to 8 speeds, let me know as I have all the parts needed.

Funny story: A professor I once had is the brother of the guy who invented this. He rides it around occasionally. Looks ridiculous.

It is a great workout. It's different than riding a bike, more like running.
As far as looking ridiculous: I don't care what others think about what I do or how I look doing it. It brings me pleasure and doesn't hurt anybody. BTW, I don't think it looks ridiculous, nor do the others that ask me about it whenever I stop somewhere. Maybe there are those that think it's ridiculous, but they keep it to themselves.
Oh, by the way, I've been riding road bikes for many years (commute, exercise, century, fun, etc.) and still enjoy to this day. The ElliptiGO is just a different 2-wheeled method of exercise, fun and transportation.
