PEDAL BAR SYSTEM AND METHOD
A pedal bar system includes a frame, a motor, a pedal shaft, a pedal assembly, and a tensioner. The motor is selectively operable in a forward mode and a reverse mode and is disposed on the frame. The motor shaft is rotatably coupled to the pedal shaft via a drive belt. The pedal assembly is rotatably coupled to the pedal shaft. The tensioner, in communication with the motor shaft and the pedal shaft via the drive belt, has a disengaged position and an engaged position. When the tensioner is in the disengaged position, the drive belt has insufficient tension to rotate the pedal shaft. Conversely, when the tensioner is in the engaged position, the drive belt has sufficient tension to rotate the pedal shaft. Importantly, the pedal shaft is not rotated by the motor in the reverse mode when the tensioner is in the disengaged position.
