Abstract: An elliptical bike is described having a function that elliptical bikes of the related art do not have, since their rear pulleys, which support the platforms, are screwed into protrusions welded to the frame, which have holes. The bicycle also comprises a folding embodiment, and holes that are suitable for raising and lowering the angle of attack of the platforms and the positioning of the rear pulleys, which are fixed (e.g., screwed) into protrusions welded to the frame, thereby providing four positions of angle of attack, giving the option to work different muscles in the user’s legs.

Abstract: An elliptical bicycle comprises a structural frame including two stringers in opposing arcs, one upper and the other lower, a front wheel and a rear wheel driven by a crankset from its support platforms, as well as a steering box formed by fork, steering tube and handlebar. The elliptical bicycle has multiple hinges. The structural frame is provided with a set of main hinges, each applied to a bipartite stringer having an articulation at an approximate angle of up to 170°. A secondary hinge is applied in a bipartite steering tube of the handlebar having an articulation at an approximate angle of up to 180°. A set of tertiary hinges is applied between a crankset and support platforms of the user's feet, each of them having an articulation at an approximate angle of up to 90° upwards.

Abstract: Tri-Power Exercising device allows a rider to simultaneously, or on demand, exercise virtually all muscle groups in his lower and upper body. The device includes a bicycle frame, pedals, forearm bars, sliding seat, computer and electronic display recommending energy modulation amounts from various muscle groups to optimize physical performance on any given trek. Because riders can exercise virtually all muscle groups at once, they reduce their exercising time, continuously builds muscle tissue throughout their whole body, and exercises their cardiovascular and respiratory systems completely. Riders operate the device by rotating legs on the pedals, rotationally oscillating the forearm bars up and down with their arms and shoulders, and then use core muscles to pull and push the seat back and forth on the slider. Inverted racks, pinion gears, and one-way bearings turn this linear power from the oscillating forearm bars and sliding seat into torque that rotates the crank axle.

Abstract: A dual powered propulsion system for use with a human powered vehicle is provided. The system includes a connecting rod with a front end operatively coupled to yoke-connected forearm bars. The system also includes a splitter coupled to a rear end of the connecting rod, wherein the splitter is coupled to a first rack and a second rack that operate with a first and second pinion gear to turn a crank axle. This system supplies rotational power to the crank axle in a single rotational direction as the connecting rod is oscillated up and down and back and forth. Even though a solid connecting rod is used to transfer power from the oscillating forearm bars to the crank axle, the vehicle is steerable to the right or left as a result of the use of a carriage, on rollers, and a turning track operatively connected to the forearm bars.

Abstract: A bicycle with a rear drive assembly configured to allow pedal boards to be pivotable while moving in an elliptical trajectory and which allows a cyclist to ride in an erect position is disclosed. A front end of each of the pedal boards is pivotably connected to an end of a crank and each of the pedal boards is connected to or integral with a guide rod extending rearwardly from the pedal board. The guide rods are supported by a rear drive assembly comprising a transverse tube that is horizontally connected to a frame of the bicycle. A roller is mounted at each end of the transverse tube. Each roller has a groove which accommodates the cross-section of the guide rod.

Abstract: A direct-drive double wing scooter includes a frame, an actuation assembly, a drive assembly, a transmission assembly and a rear wheel disposed at rear end of the frame. The drive assembly includes a first turning shaft and a second turning shaft, and the first turning shaft is disposed at a front end of the frame, the second turning shaft is disposed at the rear end of the frame. A distance between the second turning shaft and the wheel axle of the rear wheel is less than a diameter of the rear wheel, preferably, a ration of the above distance to a radius of the rear wheel is in the range of 0.18-1.38. The direct-drive double wing scooter is suitable for riding on the flat road without slope or with a little slope, and further suitable for riding on the climbing section with a large slope.

Abstract: “IMPROVEMENTS INTRODUCED IN AN ELLIPTICAL DRIVE MECHANISM AND A STEERING MECHANISM, APPLICABLE TO VELOCIPEDES IN GENERAL,” more specifically, it is about elliptical velocipedes (1) of the bicycle, tricycle, and scooter type, with said velocipedes having a tubular crossmember (2A) where the basic components are mounted, namely: fork (2b), handlebar mounting (2c), front wheel, rear wheel, center sprocket, and cranks, as well as an elliptical drive mechanism (M1) and a steering mechanism (M2). The structural frame (2) has a crossmember (2A), whose end is aligned with the imaginary center of the rear wheel, a tubular transverse shaft with tubular connections (3a) installed on its end portions, while a guide rod (3) that functions as a path for the sliding of the respective block (4) is attached to each of said connections. Each rod (3) is parallel to the crossmember (2A), while each sliding block (4) constitutes a platform whose lower bottom portion can be attached to a crank arm, which is, in turn, installed on the center sprocket of the velocipede (1), which drives a chain (5) that is responsible for transmitting motion to the ratchet mechanism. The lower surface of each plate (4) has at least two pairs of mountings (4a) with cross-sections in the shape of an inverted “L” on the side edges of the plate (4a), and they have pulleys (7) whose sections correspond to the sections of each guide rod (3). Because of the fact that the blocks (4) are mounted on the ends of the crank arms, sliding of said shoes on each guide rod (3) is in reverse, and, on account of the fact that the aforementioned rods (3) are linked to the transverse shaft, they produce an alternating upward and downward angular motion, thereby causing rotary motion of the cranks and, consequently, rotation of the center sprocket, the chain (5), and the ratchet mechanism, which, in this instance, is mounted on the front wheel, so as to constitute the elliptical drive mechanism (M1).
