Who could have imagined that a treadmill¹ on wheels would one day become a thing?!? Lopifit is an unusual means of transportation that allows you to power an electric bicycle by walking on a treadmill. 

 

谁能想到有一天在跑步机上装轮子会成为流行？！？电动自行车Lopifit是一款与众不同的交通工具，你可以通过在跑步机行走来为它充电。
 

 

Lopifit founder² Bruin Bergmeester says it all started when he asked himself the question "How can I use a treadmill outdoor?" 

 

He eventually came up with an functional³ design, added an electric engine, and the Lopifit was born. It's similar to an electric bicycle in that the motor only engages when the rider puts power in as well. 

 

Only while typical e-bikes give pedal assist, the Lopifit senses when you walk on the treadmill and uses the motor to turn a drive chain at the rear of the treadmill, helping⁴ you reach a top speed of 17 miles per hour.

 

To use the Lopifit, simply turn on the battery and use your foot to slide the treadmill backwards⁵ and activate⁶ the motor. 

 

Then get on and enjoy the ride! If you need speed, just walk on the treadmill, and if you want to coast, all you have to do is stay still and admire the view. 

 

To stop, you have two hand breaks at your disposal.
