Using an elliptical is a cardio work out.
Cardio helps you shed fat.
So yes, you'll shed leg fat.
If you set the resistance high enough, it'll tone your legs, too.
EDIT:
Same with the exercise bike.
Almost any exercise you can do on any machine can be done with weights and stretch bands if you look into it. There are many classes where this is taught. With most machines one ends up selling them at huge losses or giving them away. I speak from experience. I also teach a seniors fitness class.
you can't spot-reduce fat ... overall cardio will burn fat everywhere ... swimming and martial-art based aerobics will provide the most tone if you do not engage in strength-training ...
overall, ellipticals are good for low-impact cardio ... it will provide some tone for your legs ... does the model you have include anything for upper-body???
