Ergonomically positioned, articulating foot pedals have a 20-inch stride length, while the precision balanced flywheel system provides a smooth feel during your workout. A commercial grade, nine-inch LCD screen is crisp and clear, constantly displaying essential training data like heart rate, calories burned, time, distance traveled, and more. Technology Custom pedals: Pedals were designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist, and SOLE SOLE engineers have created a two-degree inward slope to the foot pedals, reducing ankle and knee stress common in many elliptical machines. The foot beds are also adjustable for customized comfort. Articulating pedals: Not everyone walks the same, which is why SOLE designed pedals that articulate to fit your stride. This feature also reduces the "numb toe effect" and sore Achilles tendons. Power incline: Additional resistance and variable positions mean a diverse, challenging cardio workout with the touch of a button. The ramp angle is fully adjustable from 0 to 30 degrees, allowing you to target and individually work all major lower body muscle groups. Strong frame: The light commercial market demands products that can handle the wear and tear of multiple users, and the SOLE E98 uses heavy-duty, 38-millimeter steel designed to support user weight capacity of up to 400 pounds.

Review: Solid, Great Addition to a Home Gym - I will admit that my wife is the primary user of this unit and she is a tough customer. If the unit was not solid or lacked overall quality, she would complain. The 5 stars are well deserved in product quality and customer service. It is a bit of work to assemble, but once completed it does deliver and it's solid, quite and delivers a good work-out. Very smooth mechanics and intuitive dashboard. It does not have Internet capability, etc. But we're not interested in sharing our work-out effort via social network and these sort of things. Bottom line is, I can't find a reason to complain about the quality of the this equipment. I can only complement. Now, I was disappointed that a pulse monitor was not included with this unit as it is the top of the line model and lesser models include the heart rate monitor (which is worn across the chest). There are also work-out programs that require this sensor, if a tailored work-out is desired. So I was upset and prepared to argue as I have just spent top dollar for the top of the line and now need to buy an accessory. No way! Well, 1 minute into the call the support person says: "Sure, if you would like the pulse monitor, we'll send you one". Within the week I had a pulse monitor at no cost! So great product and great service. If I had my money back today and an opportunity to decide again from scratch, I would buy this elliptical again. Review: Sole Fitness E98 light commercial - This machine is not power stride adjustable and definitely not self-generating or self-powering as i was made to believe. You can imagine my frustration after specifically contacting the customer care line to confirm both verbally and via email that this machine was self-generating before shelling out US$2,000 only to discover it doesn't when i could have settled for E35 same brand at about US$1,000 lesser. Not to mention that i had to ship this mammoth out all the way to Africa and now i am stuck with it. Am a bachelor weighing in at 77kg and live alone and don't necessarily need the commercial grade if this device wan't going to self-power to address the challenge of power-outages where i live. Even after contacting the customer service they seem a lot confused about its functionality on this issue, some say it does, other say it doesn't and rest not sure. I mean they shipped out a bulky replacement part but that didn't help. i got a technician the likes that have been all over the world installing complex industrial machinery and getting trained by the BIG names in the industry and got him to confirm to Sole on phone after checking the device that it wasn't built to self-generate. At that point the correspondences just kind of faded out... i am rating it a 1 star ## Features - Light Commercial E98 Elliptical built for commercial environment, with articulating foot pedals and heavy-duty 34-pound flywheel - Adjustable pedals and console and power adjustable stride and incline; 20-inch maximum stride length; six standard programs, two custom programs, and two heart rate programs - Pulse grip and chest strap heart rate monitoring; LCD console with nine-inch display; front drive system with bBuilt-in fan and 15-inch pedals; includes sound system and water bottle holder - Measures 27 by 67 by 82 inches (W x H x D), with 249-pound weight and 400-pound weight limit - Includes the following manufacturer's warranties against defects in materials and workmanship: lifetime on frame; five years on electronics and parts; and two years on labor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0090X0ALC | | Brand | SOLE | | Brand Name | SOLE | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 10 Reviews | | Display Size | 20 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00795447598127 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 82"D x 27"W x 67"H | | Item Weight | 249 pounds | | Manufacturer | Sole Fitness | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Material Type | Metal, Plastic | | Maximum Stride Length | 20 inches | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 400 pounds | | Model Name | E98 | | Model Number | E98-2013 | | Product Dimensions | 82"D x 27"W x 67"H | | Resistance Mechanism | Magnetic | | UPC | 795447598127 | | Warranty Description | Lifetime frame; 5 years electronics and parts; 2 years labor | ## Product Details - **Model Name:** E98 - **Brand:** SOLE - **Product Dimensions:** 82"D x 27"W x 67"H - **Material:** Metal, Plastic - **Resistance Mechanism:** Magnetic ## Images ![Sole Fitness E98 Light Commercial Elliptical Machine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81978NgQUbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, Great Addition to a Home Gym *by V***. on April 21, 2014* I will admit that my wife is the primary user of this unit and she is a tough customer.

This is important as I learned when my previous Endurance E7 had two weld failures and bushing loosness after only 6 years of daily (7 mile or 400 calories) use. E98 has a heavy flywheel that smoothes the action. The pedal lower arms incline mechaism has nylon wheels that ride on rails-lthis ooks like potential design weakness- I will know after the first 1000 miles. Overall, machine is quiet and smooth. Requires frequent lubrication to keep wheels turning smoothly. Requires disappointing additional p[urchase of chest strap to use all functions. (Pulse rate-max heart rate etc) Assembly directions are poorly written and lack illustrations. This was not a good translation from the original Chinese! Sole could benefit from hiring a competent translater to improve the manual.//6 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5189924-sole-fitness-e98-light-commercial-elliptical-machine](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5189924-sole-fitness-e98-light-commercial-elliptical-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
