This invention is an amusement apparatus. In particular, a player can ride a rolling toy, for example, a bicycle or a scooter, inside a rotating tube, so the riding is emulated. The player holds controlling devices, which control the rotation speed. A multi-functional digital module is installed statically inside the tube. It can detect player's position, receive control signal, and project synchronized 3D animation in front of the player, so a virtual 3D animation is presented.

A bicycle support device that includes a stabilization platform, the platform interfacing with bicycle training wheels. When the training wheels are engaged within the cavities of the stabilization platform, the rear wheel of the bicycle is elevated. The elevation, in combination with a slot within the platform, allows the rear wheel of the bicycle to rotate freely.

An exercise training device for use with a motorcycle for working out to improve a rider's physical fitness is provided. The training device includes a base, a mounting plate, and a plurality of support legs extending from the base. A coil spring is vertically mounted between the base and the mounting plate. A motorcycle can be releasably affixed to the mounting plate with a plurality of hold downs. The coil spring deflects in response to lateral forces such that the affixed motorcycle can pitch and roll when subject to sufficient force.

A workout apparatus for use by a user to simulate core movement patterns of bike riding is provided. The workout apparatus includes a base deck disposed on a ground surface, a frame assembly pivotably mounted to the base deck and comprising a front portion and a rear portion, a handle bar coupled to the front portion of the frame assembly, and a pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the frame assembly and base deck, the first hydraulic damper unit coupled to the base deck and front portion of the frame assembly, the second hydraulic damper unit coupled to the base deck and rear portion of the frame assembly. The user on the base deck grabs the handle bar to perform a pushing or pulling motion, thereby enabling the first hydraulic damper unit or second hydraulic damper unit to provide resistance to movement of the frame assembly.

Computerized system operative to perform selectable system-actions responsive to user input, the system being accessible to non-literate users via a touch screen defining touch screen locations respectively corresponding to the selectable system-actions, the touch screen being operative to detect and distinguish between first and second gestures, the system comprising a processor-controlled touch-triggered actor which, responsive to at least each first gesture applied by end-user to an individual location within the touch screen, from among plural touch screen locations, performs individual action/s which corresponds to the individual location; and a processor-controlled touch-triggered oral presenter which, responsive to at least each second gesture applied by end-user to an individual location within the touch screen, from among the plural touch screen locations, presents an oral characterization of individual action/s which corresponds to said individual location.

An apparatus for simulating a vehicle traveling on a road and towing a trailer, wherein the apparatus includes a scale model towing vehicle and trailer combination positioned on a moving belt of a treadmill. The apparatus has a speed control and a remote control steering mechanism to demonstrate how the vehicle/trailer towing combination will react to vehicle operator inputs under varying conditions, including variations in weight distribution of the trailer load.

A method, apparatus and system for enabling a person, preferably a prospective purchaser, to virtually try out a consumer good that preferably is motorcycle using anthropometric data of the person to fit a virtual model of the person to a virtual model of the motorcycle and using aspects analyzed relating to the posture of the virtual person fitted to the virtual motorcycle to obtain a predictive estimate of comfort that can be communicated, e.g., displayed, to the person to evaluate whether a particular one of a plurality of different motorcycles, motorcycle configurations, and/or motorcycle accessory configurations would be more comfortable that one or more other motorcycles, motorcycle configurations, and/or motorcycle accessory configurations. A preferred method is implemented with a processor-equipped linked to a display, which can be configured as a kiosk for retail use, which can include an anthropometric data input, preferably a biometric scanner, from which at least one, preferably at least a plurality, more preferably at least a plurality of pairs, i.e., at least three, types of anthropometric data are obtain used to create the virtual model of the person that is fitted, preferably posture fitted, to a virtual model of the motorcycle.

A motorcycle simulator apparatus has a control interface with lean and handlebar steering inputs for sensing lean and handlebar steering actions, respectively; and a processor configured to process signals from the lean and handlebar steering inputs and to output a steering response signal of a motorcycle within a simulation.
