# Stand and Cycle Biking ElliptiGO Glide Bicycle By Pearl | Published 2008-08-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stand-and-cycle-bike-elliptigo-glide-bicycle References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/elliptigo-glide-bike) & [elliptigo](http://www.elliptigo.com/) The ElliptiGO glide bike combines the best aspects of [running and cycling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smash-your-fitness). The bike totally eliminates the joint pains caused by pounding on pavements and uncomfortable bike seats. Cycling on the [impact-free bicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rcyl-bike) in the standing position gives the user a better view and a more comfortable posture. The pedaling motion is unlike that of [conventional bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-designs) where you basically pedal in a circle - it's more, well, elliptical. The video shows how it is done. According to the manufacturer, the pedal motion, stride length and rider position are all easily modified. Eight gears will take the rider from to 6 to 25 mph. This is definitely a fun way to get some exercise and keep fit! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stand and Cycle Biking:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional outdoor exercise with a low-impact and adjustable alternative. - **Impact-free Exercise Equipment:** Innovative exercise options that eliminate joint impact are becoming increasingly popular. - **Adjustable Motion Machines:** Increasing demand for motion machines that allow users to customize their workout for maximum comfort and effectiveness. ### Where This Applies - **Fitness Equipment Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of fitness equipment should consider developing adjustable, impact-free exercise machines. - **Sports Equipment Retail:** Retailers specializing in outdoors sports should consider carrying the ElliptiGO glide bike or similar products. - **Health and Wellness Centers:** Health and wellness centers should consider adding impact-free exercise equipment to their facilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seat-Free Spin Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martoni-cardio-speeder.md) - [Rowing-Style Recumbent Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/varibike-extreme.md) - [Immersive Futuristic Fitness Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ex8s-connect-bike.md) - [Comfort-Focused Stationary Bicycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fit-bike-s.md) - [Tech-Advanced Stationary Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-bike.md) - [Realistic Riding Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muoverti-tilt-indoor-smart-bike.md) - [Spatial Video Exercise Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holobike.md) - [Accessible Step-Through E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lime-3.md) - [Hybrid Exercise E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morphrover.md)
