Why FreeCross
/01Out of the stuffy gym. Into the fresh air.
Easy on the joints
The flowing elliptical step-motion protects your joints from stress. Ideal even with knee, hip or back problems — the natural upright posture keeps the spine in a neutral, healthy position.
Made in Germany
Every frame is carefully hand-welded from high-strength 7020 aluminum. Premium, standard bicycle components make self-maintenance easy and hassle-free.
The Product
/02Thought through to the last detail.
Upright. Natural. Standing.
The natural upright stance relieves the spine and gives you a clear view. The handles adjust 130 mm in height — for every body size from 140 to 200 cm (4'7" to 6'7"). When you stop, you simply remain standing — no need to dismount.
Street Carving.
The patented steering dampener technology turns every ride into an active experience: steer by shifting your weight and lean into the curve — fluid, intuitive and safe on three wheels.
Ingeniously foldable.
Loosen one bolt, fold, take it with you: 163 × 68 × 68 cm (64" × 27" × 27") when folded. The FreeCross fits in your car and is delivered ready to ride — no assembly required.

/06What our customers say.
“A life without the FreeCross is possible, but pointless! You train the whole body, protect your joints — and you are out in nature.”
“After my husband's stroke, the FreeCross lets him train muscles he cannot activate on the bike or in physiotherapy. A complete success.”
“The "Mercedes" among crosstrainers: ball bearings everywhere instead of simple joints. The folding mechanism is ingeniously engineered. Perfection for fitness equipment on wheels.”
“My vitality has improved enormously — no one-sided strain on the joints, the whole body moves gently. Thank you for this wonderful invention.”

/08Good to know.
How much does the FreeCross outdoor crosstrainer cost?
The White Edition costs €3,248; the Black Edition — with matte black finish, "unflattable" Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires and Brooks leather grips — costs €3,498. Employees in Germany can save up to 40 % through company-bike leasing, and the 4-week money-back guarantee lets you test risk-free.
How many calories do you burn with the FreeCross?
Up to 1,000 kcal per hour. The FreeCross engages all major muscle groups simultaneously — arms, shoulders, chest, stomach, back, glutes and legs — while strengthening the cardiovascular system.
Is the FreeCross suitable for people with joint or back problems?
Yes. The flowing elliptical step-motion puts very little stress on the joints, and the upright posture keeps the spine in a neutral position. Many customers use the FreeCross specifically for knee, hip or back problems, and in rehabilitation — for example after surgery or a stroke.
How heavy is the FreeCross and can it be transported?
The FreeCross weighs 27 kg (59.5 lbs) — ultra-light for a machine of this class, thanks to its EN-AW 7020 aluminum frame. For transport it folds down to 163 × 68 × 68 cm (64" × 27" × 27") by loosening a single bolt, fitting into most station wagons.
Can I ride the FreeCross on public roads?
Yes, the FreeCross is approved for use on public roads (German StVZO). It suits body sizes from 140 to 200 cm (4'7" to 6'7") — the handles adjust 130 mm in height — and carries up to 125 kg (275 lbs).
Can I test ride the FreeCross before buying?
Yes — with no obligation at a FreeCross premium dealer, a rental station or one of our many ambassadors near you. On request, we can also provide a loaner unit free of rental charge for extensive test riding at home.
Where is the FreeCross made?
Every FreeCross is handcrafted by Fahrradmanufaktur Schefzyk in Ober-Ramstadt, Germany. The hand-welded aluminum frame carries a 10-year warranty, and only premium standard bicycle components are used.
