DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF BALANCED TREAD MILL BICYCLE

Abstract

Treadmill cycle has runs perfectly on human effort and batteries with dc motor. As the rider walks on the
treadmill belt, the belt indirectly rotates the rear wheel propelling the bicycle forward with the help of gear change
mechanism. The purpose of this project was to design and develop a human manual treadmill cycle. A sprocket
mechanism with gear box and additional components are used to run the treadmill cycle without external sources. For
having better balance while riding we are using two supporting wheels fixed near the rear wheel. It is believed that
treadmill bicycle will also be the ideal device for healthy runners. It delivers an exercise experience that is closer to
running that anything else available today.
