A dual-drive prone bicycle comprises a frame (1), a front wheel (2), a rear wheel (3), a front drive component (4) and a rear drive component (5), wherein: the front wheel (2) and the rear wheel (3) are arranged at the front portion and rear portion of the frame (1); the rear drive component (5) comprises a rear wheel drive mechanism (51) for driving the rear wheel (3) and a treadle mechanism (52) for driving the rear wheel transmission mechanism (51); and a dynamic knee support member (53) having synchronous movement with the treadle mechanism (52) is provided between the treadle mechanism (52) and the frame (1). Designed with multi-point dynamic supports, this dual-drive prone bicycle improves riding comfort and efficiency and is combined with crawling fitness function.

A step sporting equipment with a double transmission mechanism, wherein a transmission mechanism and a treading mechanism are located on both sides of a frame body respectively. Each transmission mechanism at least comprises a front wheel disc, a rear wheel disc and a driving piece. Each treading mechanism is connected to the corresponding transmission mechanism. When the user treads on each treading mechanism, each treading mechanism can compel the corresponding transmission mechanism to work. In addition, as the front wheel disc and rear wheel disc are linked by a driving piece, there is higher moving phase. Therefore, with two transmission mechanisms, the dimensional discrepancy of elements resulted from tolerance can be tolerated effectively, and the step sporting equipment can remain in normal operation.

A rotary force transfer mechanism includes an input (e.g., a pedal or handle) that receives a substantially linear input force (e.g., from a human operator), a rotary structure (e.g., a gear), and a drive element for selective coupling with the rotary structure to transmit the input force to the rotary structure to cause a corresponding rotary motion of the rotary structure. When transmitting the input force to the rotary structure, the drive element engages with an outer circumferential surface of the rotary structure such that the input force is transmitted to the rotary structure in a direction tangential to a position where the drive element is coupled to the rotary structure.

A reciprocating mechanism includes a first connecting element, a crankshaft and a second connecting element. The crankshaft includes a rotation shaft, a first following element and a second following element. The first following element is pivotally disposed on one side of the rotation shaft and movably coupled to the first connecting element. The second following element is pivotally disposed on the other side of the rotation shaft, and a first angle is formed between the first following element and the second following element. The second connecting element is movably coupled to the second following element. The first following element and the second following element are configured to rotate around the rotation shaft so as to be movably coupled to and cause each of the first connecting element and the second connecting element to reciprocate and cyclically pivot along an arc-shaped trajectory.

A transformable bicycle or tricycle is presently provided. The transformable bicycle has a first seat and a second seat disposed rearward or forward of the first seat. At least one of the first seat and the second seat is transformable and has a planar seat and a planar back. The transformable seat is configured and disposed to transform into an enclosure or into a flat planar bench having the planar seat and the planar back substantially in the same plane.

A modular exercise apparatus comprising a frame, a common drivetrain supported by the frame and including a common axle, a plurality of input receivers coupled to the common axle, and a resistance member operably coupled to the common axle and operable to provide resistance against rotation of the common axle, a first exercise attachment including a first drive member operably coupled to a first input receiver of the plurality of input receivers of the common drivetrain, and a second exercise attachment including a second drive member operably coupled to a second input receiver of the plurality of input receivers of the common drivetrain.

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.
