This present invention relates to an E-bike built for daily commuting with a special software allowing the E-bike to be converted into a high-end smart trainer using the regenerative brake torque as a resistance in order to work out and recharge the battery. The software/application allows to control the resistance in real time and read all the data in order to create a custom workout routine while charging the battery. The E-bike can be connected to third party virtual cycling software through the ANT+ protocol to maximize the potential.

A light, aerodynamic, mini-resistance trainer used with a two-wheel bicycle a vertical connector plate, the connector plate configured to attach to the front, upright side of a bicycle's seat tube, on a bicycle frame using the bicycle's two standard water bottle cage threaded fastener holes and M3 Allen bolts. The upper portion of the connector plate continues around the bicycle frame's seat tube and overlaps the second part of the device, namely the drive system housing. The drive system assembly is comprised of a worm gear on an axle connected to a linear gear rack.

An item of exercise equipment with a movable support that is movable in a fore-aft direction and simultaneously movable laterally, e.g. about a tilt axis. The exercise equipment may be a cycle mounted to a base. A roller and track arrangement may be provided between the cycle and base, to provide movement of the cycle in the axial direction and in a tilt direction relative to the base. The roller and track arrangement may be one or more curved roller and track engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and provide a gravity bias of the platform toward an axial neutral position. The cycle and base include a tilt biasing arrangement for biasing the cycle toward a tilt neutral position relative to the base.

The present invention relates to a bicycle simulator that supports a frame of a mounted bicycle, the frame connecting a front wheel and a rear wheel of the mounted bicycle. A bicycle simulator according to an embodiment includes a base, a first frame support extending in a first direction and supported on the base, and a second frame support extending in a second direction, which is different from the first direction, and connected to the first frame support to be rotatable about one axis, wherein the second frame support supports a frame of a mounted bicycle, the frame connecting a front wheel and a rear wheel of the mounted bicycle.
