Smooth CE Elliptical Trainer

The Smooth CE Elliptical Trainer was designed by Porche. So what? - you ask...that's what I said until I got a chance to hop on the Smooth CE and give it a go myself.

The feature that really got me excited to try the Smooth CE, are the adjustable (patented) footpedals That doesn't sound like a big deal, unless you are tall like me (6'-2").

When I got on the Smooth ME I realized what I had been missing all these years. Up to this point I had been using an older model Nordic Track. Now that I rode the Smooth CE Elliptical Trainer I guess I need to start saving my money until I can afford one.

The Porche design elements also noticable in the magnetic eddy-current braking system which makes the Smooth CE Elliptical the smoothest, quietest elliptical trainer I have ever riden.

Rounding out the Smooth CE's package are:

  • 7 workout programs
  • lifetime frame warranty, 3 year parts and labor (including electronics)
  • training computer, w/ heart rate monitor
  • large 325 pound weight capacity
  • and a massive 48 pound flywheel for smooth operation

I guess I got a bit carried away with my description of the Smooth CE elliptical trainer, it's just that good of a machine.
