A bicycle training wheel assembly that allows riders to lean from side to side, thereby enabling the rider to practice balancing skills. The bicycle training wheel assembly has adjustable maximum tilt settings that train the rider in increments as they learn to balance on a bicycle. An omnidirectional wheel accommodates lateral rotational components to prevent skidding of the wheel when the bicycle is tilted towards or away from a training wheel assembly.

A tricycle may be operable between a first mode of operation steerable by a tricycle rider, and a second mode of operation steerable by an individual pushing the tricycle. In both such first and second modes, the frame of the tricycle is configured to rotatably support the rear wheels and configured to support the head tube at a distance from the rear wheels such that a distance between the head tube and rear wheels need not necessarily be changed even when the front wheel axis location is changed from one mode to another.

Disclosed is a training system for providing fitness training to a user riding an e-bike. The training system includes a motor system attached to a rear wheel of the e-bike and a detachable training stand for raising the rear wheel from the ground to allow the user to ride in various terrain modes from a stationary position. The motor system includes a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, an axle, a memory unit configured in the stator assembly to store set of instructions and plurality of terrain modes for riding the e-bike, and a bi-directional communication unit attached to the stator assembly for receiving terrain modes and other commands over the communication network. The motor system further includes a processing unit coupled to the memory unit and configured in the stator assembly for processing the set of instructions to: receive the terrain mode for setting the motor system over the communication network through the bi-directional communication unit in real time and change the motor quadrant of operation in the real time depending upon the received terrain mode. The motor system further includes a free-hub assembly attached to the rotor assembly, a free-hub spacer rotates proportionally with the pedaling speed of the user, free-hub produces a pattern for sensing pedaling speed and pedaling direction and a magnetic sensor configured on the axle for processing the pattern of pedaling speed and pedaling direction received from the free-hub magnets. The processing unit processes the information from the magnetic sensor to derive the power generated by the user during pedaling.
