Dual Power Bicycling
The Dual Power Bicycling and Stationary Trainer introduces a groundbreaking dual-power propulsion system designed for human-powered vehicles. The system utilizes a turning track, rack, pinion, and one-way bearing mechanism to allow riders to generate torque for the driving wheel through both their arms and legs, either simultaneously or independently. This innovative design enhances the rider’s ability to control and propel the vehicle with greater efficiency, offering a unique alternative to traditional cycling propulsion methods.
and Stationary Trainer
PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS
Human-powered vehicles have played a vital role throughout history, serving as tools for transportation, exercise, and recreation. The Dual Power System is compatible with various types of vehicles, including bicycles, tricycles, recumbent bikes, tandem bicycles, and even human-powered aircraft or watercraft. By incorporating both upper and lower body movement, this system increases overall power output and promotes a more comprehensive physical workout in less time.
This advancement in vehicle propulsion has the potential to revolutionize not only athletic training but also sustainable transportation. Whether used for personal fitness or everyday commuting, the Dual Power System provides a way to engage more muscle groups, increase endurance, and reduce strain on specific areas of the body. With applications across multiple industries, including sports, fitness, and eco-friendly transportation, the Dual Power Bicycling and Stationary Trainer stands as a versatile solution for a wide range of human-powered activities.
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Dual Power Bicycling and Stationary Trainer is designed with an innovative arm-assisted drive train, enabling riders to generate power using both their arms and legs. This Dual Power System allows independent or simultaneous propulsion, ensuring continuous motion even when the legs are not engaged. The bike incorporates 4-point steering, utilizing the rider’s elbows and upper arms to maintain stability and control while directing the bicycle. This unique design offers a full-body workout, engaging twice as many muscle groups compared to traditional cycling, enhancing cardiovascular endurance, and optimizing energy distribution across the body.
At the core of the Dual Power Bicycling and Stationary Trainer are two yoke-connected forearm bars, which move in a partial arc to transfer power efficiently. The rider’s up-and-down arm movements translate into rotational energy via a system of connecting rods, racks, and pinion gears, ensuring that force is consistently applied to the crank axle and driving wheel. A turning track and carriage system keeps the front wheel aligned while allowing smooth turns without unintended lateral movements. This mechanism ensures a seamless riding experience, maintaining propulsion even during directional changes.
By integrating upper and lower body engagement, the Dual Power Bicycling and Stationary Trainer improves oxygen efficiency, muscle endurance, and overall power output. Riders can achieve higher speeds, pull heavier loads, and maximize workout intensity by utilizing more muscle groups. The system efficiently transfers nearly 100% of arm-generated power to the drive wheel, minimizing energy loss through friction. Whether used for fitness, sport, or transportation, this dual-power propulsion system revolutionizes human-powered mobility, offering a superior cycling experience.
The Dual Power Bicycling and Stationary Trainer is unlike any other on the market, offering the unique ability to add 15%–20% more power/watts to the driving wheel while still maintaining a natural riding experience. Additionally, we’ve incorporated a lock-out feature that allows riders to easily deactivate the extra power whenever they prefer to ride without it, providing full control and versatility for all types of terrain and training needs.
