Has anyone seen or heard about this? It's literally a scooter that was made as an elliptical to use outside. I wanted to try it out so badly until I saw the price tag on it lol ranges from 1-2k or even more than that.

Here's a picture of it

    Saw one at my local bike shop the other day and it looked really cool!! The next time I'm at the shop (probably tomorrow), I'll have to give it a spin!

    I thought this was going to be about getting dizzy on an elliptical machine.

    Elliptical+vertigo... :laugh:

    Wow, for that much money you can build your own mini gym.

    I thought exactly the same thing (and I actually do often get dizzy on the elliptical, lol!)! :laugh:

    That looks like fun. Not worth the price, but fun.

    I've seen people using them by the beach (maybe rentals, it was a touristy area) and they looked like a lot of fun.

    I bought 1 about a year and a half ago. I love it. I am an injured runner who was told I could never run again and I needed something to get me back out there. My ortho doc reccomended the Elliptigo. I have since done many rides and I am even in the Elliptigo century club. I am number 79 on the list. I also do cycling but there is nothing like being out there on the road on one of these. The price is well worth it if you consider how much happpiness it brings you. I highly reccomend you guys taking one for a test drive.

    I saw these a couple of years ago, and finally did a test ride last year. I'm also an injured runner and think one of these would be great. It's the price tag keeping me from it.

    I have an Elliptigo and its awesome! I was never able to run and it is really low impact. It works your core because you're always standing. I paid $3200 for it. Yep, its pricey, but it's so much fun!!! My husband cross trains on it.
