StreetStrider | The First 2-in-1 OUTDOOR + INDOOR Elliptical | 2019 |

- The StreetStrider gives you the combined benefits of jogging, skiing and cycling, but without the physical stress on your joints and body. The outdoor elliptical motion is described as ‘running on air’, and the Indoor Trainer Stand allows you to transform your StreetStrider into a stationary elliptical in seconds. Your workout has never been this fun!
I recieved the 8s a few days ago. The bottom of the box was busted. The rear tire wouldn't spin freely. Three members of my family attempted to ride. We all had extreme difficulty getting it to move forward. It took several days to get a hold of customer service. Finally, spoke with a rep to return it. I paid $2584.92. Ultimately, I'm out $329 for their "white glove service" assembly fee. Plus, a 10% ($258) restocking fee. Also, I have to pay for shipping which I can imagine will be no less than $200 considering the package weighs over eighty pounds. I recommend not buying unless you can test ride it first.
whoa!!! that is a ton of money
That's $900 to test drive/ride. I would do better building a flying saucer from scratch.
I just saw the commercial! Incredible!!!
I own one, and there is one downside to using it indoors. You get a much better core workout outdoors because you will be engaging your core muscles to keep the vehicle straight -- which you won't get using the indoor trainer stand. Otherwise, it offers the best workout ever. Here are the benefits I find:
- Allows FULL leg extension for working out maximum range of muscle (unlike bicycles)
- Placing your feet all the way back on the platform (so you’re leaning forward) allows you to mimic the physical range of sprinting, without having to actually sprint
- Placing your feet all the way up front on the platform (so you’re fully upright) emulates jogging; i.e. you can get your muscles worked out at different angles
- Resisting your natural tendency to zigzag works out your CORE muscles in addition to your arms and legs (unlike stationary ellipticals)
- Because you hold the handgrips much tighter than you do on a bicycle, you will get a much better forearm and wrist workout
- If your legs are tired you can concentrate more on your arms (and vice versa)
- When concentrating more on arms, you can focus more on either the pushing motion or on the pulling motion, again focusing more on which muscles you want to concentrate on (pushing also engages the chest, while pulling engages your upper back)
- Elliptical pattern of the stride feels much more natural than the circular pattern of a bicycle
- Low-impact workout is easier on your knees, ankles, and hips
- SUPER FUN!
Yeah, but can it go on mountain bike trails as a bike can?
How about fitting into a bike rack to lock it up while doing errands?
Or how about doing really long trips like on a bike?
And how about when, not if, when it breaks down? Can you fix anything yourself and save tons of money?
You have to be rich to own and maintain one of these overrated hunks of junk.
@@timothy3732 If that's what you're looking for, then I suggest you get a regular bike. Sounds like the StreetStrider is not for you, if those other things are such a concern. That's okay, everyone has different priorities when making a purchase. I'm not rich (I drive a shuttle bus for a living), but I've owned one for four years (since March 2017) and ride it 3-4 times a week. Personally, I feel like I've saved time and money vs. purchasing a gym membership and driving back and forth to the gym. The maintenance cost over the four years I've had it has been reasonable to me. I don't think I would be as consistent with my workouts had it not been for my StreetStrider (I ride a 13-mile route down and back up the coast to and from the Huntington Beach Pier -- the women and the scenery are worth it!). In the past I've always got burnt out on gym memberships and wasted my money. Riding the Strider is fun, and there's never lack of motivation to take it for a ride, which makes it totally worth it for me. I can honestly say that this is one of the best purchases I've ever made.
@@timothy3732 Also, I do my grocery shopping regularly at Trader Joe's, and I just lock it up at the end of the bike rack. Btw - When in the collapsed position it will fit into a Toyota Prius with the seats down.
Great review and tips! Thanks!
I'm working on building one that has a similar principal but am including a propeller and wing that allows for a take off speed of 60 and maintain cruising and 70-80. Made completely of a titanium aluminum alloy frame The other parts are carbon fiber for propeller and wings forward and aft.
I just got mine and I love it! My son helped me build it and it really works me out which I needed badly. I have back injuries, neck injuries, and can't run (I hate running to be honest) but this is pretty cool. Only took me a few times to get down the turning and I was off. I need to practice more but I can tell this is going to be my weight loss buddy for sure.
Hey there! Glad you enjoy your StreetStrider. But, I have a question: I'm a keen (race)biker. And when I look at the position of the brake levers, I cannot help wondering how fast your reaction will be in case of emergency stop. When you are in the full process of pulling back and forth the handle bars, I have some trouble believing you can switch fast enough to pressing the brakes for emergencies...I think your response time could be way too high. What's your opinion?
@@janverbanck As a fellow bike rider I wonder how they would do going up the same steep hills I do as well as down.
Can they stop peddling and coast as we do on our bikes when we go down steep hills?
I only see them riding on flat ground which I think it is mainly designed for which makes the bike far superior.
We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
I want one.. I don't balance well on a regular bike. It looks like so much fun!!😀✨🌟
Check EBAY! I paid $800 for the 7i. Practically new. I purchased one yesterday.
If you don't balance well on a regular bike, you really think this will be easier???
I was just given one and so far I love it. I have not taken it out for a ride yet but I love it in my house
I thought it was a parody Ad for a sec. Oh my goodness I can't believe people actually buy this with their hard earned money LOL
Looks fun
You must weigh 300 pounds if you think that lol...
@@icanbreathe9161😂😂😂😂
I just saw someone in my neighbourhood I met recently riding one of these. Never saw them before. Very intrigued. She said she’s had it for years. Has at least 6 gears…great for going up hills. May be a much better option for me, my back, than a bicycle. I love walking and need something else for traveling further via trails. Opted out of having a car.
How do you break it down to transport it when traveling or vacationing. Is there a lock up system if you for when inside of a restaurant and eat. Thank you for an excellent product
Yeah, ahh NO WAY!! The moment you hit a bump or rock, you're going airborn!!
All the reviews and commercials show the expensive one hows the 999$ one is it smooth too
Great concept and idea however, the jerking from side-to-side is suspect...for that reason, I'm out (in my "Sharks" voice)
BRWNSKN if you’re jerking from side to side,you are doing it wrong. This is only demonstrating the maneuvering of the bike. I just bought one and it’s really starting to grow on me.
@@davidbailey6397 in the official video that we are commenting on, all the riders are jerking from side to side as well. You’re suggesting the official commercial that Street Strider produced is demonstrated incorrectly?
@@RandoPandaSmiles yeah I agree, serious stability concerns with this ting. Tadpole trikes are already unstable and prone to flip overs, and that is with a low center of gravity.
Where near Toronto would I buy one. In a store not online.
Would it be good for different surfaces? Like hard pack trails?
Would be nice if a city/suburban community was built with electric elliptical street striders, ebikes, dual kangaroo "pogo sticks", roller blades, velomobiles, e-kick scooters in mind O_o. Maybe have some shared program, and have random cameras to make sure that kids don't do things to the vehicles.
Even I think that's nerdy, and I'm fluent in Elvish.
I find it hard to justify a $3,000 price tag that could nearly buy me a 125cc Honda scooter that gets 90 MPG, and I'm not even sure where I'd take this "street strider" without being a nuisance to the traffic.
Let's see a 400 lb female using one of these!
Do you steer with tilt like a skateboard? then you have to learn to do it in such a way that I don't wobble while driving, because then I'm moving on a wavy line.
How are they on steep hills? What's the max weight and height capacity? Are they available in Canada, or can be shipped to Canada?
Does it fold up so you can put it in the car? I am not seeing that type of info - also, are there accessories? Like on my bike i have toe clips to ensure i am peddling using my toes (as you should be). Is there something like that available to ensure your feet don't slip off the pad(pedal) - obviously loose enough to disengage as well?
dawn robinson yes it folds up
J'ai le vélo streetstrider et j'aimerais pouvoir utiliser toute l'année. Où puis-je trouver le support pour l'intérieur.? Je veux en acheter un. Merci
I tried to buy a used one yesterday for $300 but my sister and I couldn't control it when we tested it, I wonder if the new ones have the same problem.
I VERY LIKE
2 to 3000 is alot
Looks like a maintenance headache.
Yo quiero
What's the cost where can we find it?
Their website has all the information you need,models,prices etc.Good luck
2,000-3,000 American dollars. But I’m paying a gym on a monthly basis. This will forever be mine, and I can ride it, and work out anywhere, and outside, or on the beach walks. Genius who invented this. It’s worth the money
Lake - That's two sentences.
@@jonhohensee3258 grammar Nazi. Get a life.
En cuanto sale
How do you turn on ur though
Prince
23 years bike shop experience. 10 years having to work on these occasionally. It's a pile of shit.
This is what I was wondering. Quality of bike components etc.
yet you've never ridden one
I bet the very vast majority of these in 5 yrs or less time end up in the back of the garage getting rusty and dusty while those of us who ride bikes are still riding our bikes.
@@timothy3732 i didnt know it was a competition. You can keep your turf.
No helmets , irresponsible advertising
Let's see you go a long distance for an hr or more on one of these as I do on my bike.
And let's hear from those if they are still loving and using them from 3-5 yrs ago where I bet they are not.
You are going to get bored real quick just going around your block a bunch of times and tired of paying for it to get fixed and maintained over and over again.
Price
$1,200- $4,00 USD
Too dangerous on roads
doesn't look street legal
???
Or you could try walking. Have you heard of walking? It's a new thing.
Like that's as fun. Please.... 🙄
@@jonhohensee3258 It is because otherwise you are out tons of money buying this hunk of junk that will then cost more $ when, not if, when something breaks on it.
How many who buy it will even know how to fix a flat tire while they are out riding it around?
On my bikes I carry stuff to fix them for any emergency.
@@timothy3732 - Okay, nutjob. Run along now.
@@jonhohensee3258 How am I a nutjob? Today I did a 2 plus hr bike ride on hilly country roads which then took me to a park with gravel paths carrying extra water bottles and my lunch. There is just no way one of these would even make it halfway there.
The SS is for local streets for much shorter rides on flat streets. Yeah, it is no fun just going around the block a few times. That is going to get boring real quick and I bet tons of owners get bored and quit using these.
@@timothy3732 - You're a nutjob because your reply to me has nothing to do with what I wrote. Go bother someone else.
This is a scam . Lost money
How...
Yeah, ahh NO WAY!! The moment you hit a bump or rock, you're going airborn!!
