ElliptiGO, Inc. is a manufacturer of stand-up and elliptical bicycles headquartered in Solana Beach, California. Elliptical bikes combine the motion of an indoor elliptical trainer with the outdoor mobility of a traditional bicycle. They are a type of treadle bicycle, powered by treadles (which are attached to the crank via a linkage rod), rather than pedals mounted directly on the crank arms. Treadle drive trains were historically intermediate between highwheeled penny-farthings (which were powered by pedals mounted directly on a crank through the wheel hub, like a modern child's tricycle) and the bicycle chain; Elliptigos, like some other later treadle bicycles, use both treadles and a chain.
