Treadmill Bike – Take the gym outdoors
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Inventions, Unique Designs on April 7, 2010
Have you ever wished you could get a quality treadmill workout without paying expensive gym prices? Look no further than the Treadmill Bike by the Bicycle Forest. The Treadmill Bike offers the same fat burning benefits of a conventional treadmill without the membership fees!
Still not convinced that the Treadmill Bike is right for you? Consider these key benefits:
- When the weather’s nice, the last place you want to be is cooped up in some stuffy gym. Imagine running through evergreen forests or strolling down country roads. All of this is possible thanks to the rugged design and all terrain tires on the revolutionary Treadmill Bike.
- The Treadmill Bike’s hard wearing belt offers a sure grip while protecting your feet from dirt and other contaminants commonly found on the earth’s surface.
- Because the Treadmill Bike is also a mode of transportation, use it instead of your car for everyday tasks such as shopping, and traveling to school or your place of work.
- Thinking of taking the Treadmill Bike to the grocery store? Be sure to stock up on ice cream while you’re there. You will have earned it.
- Treadmill Biking is fun for the whole family. The variable resistance feature* means that treadmill bikers of different abilities can workout together and no one will get left behind.
- Today’s urban landscape is increasingly dominated by large SUV’s and multilane roadways. The Treadmill Bike’s elevated running platform means you’ll be seen over the hood of even the most heinously overbuilt motor vehicle.

Shadow eBike – Transports you and charges your gadgets at the same time
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Inventions, Technology, Unique Designs on March 24, 2010
The average ebike has 40 feet of wire exposed on the outside. The Shadow Ebike has no wires out in the open. Through its proprietary rim design, it has integrated the battery and controller all in one.
Wireless Throttle
Works like any other throttle. You press the lever, a signal is sent to the controller which turns on the motor. Why have wires that tangle up and can be cut causing mulfunctions.
Wireless Brake
Works like any other brake lever. You press the brake lever, a signal is sent to the controller to stop the motor. In fact, the signal is sent in reverse which regenerates the battery.
Wireless Pedal Assist
The pedal assist option does not require any difficult assembly. It can be removed or installed in 1 minute flat. It talks directly to the Daymak Drive controller
More features: USB/110V Plug – The integrated rim can be charged directly through the rim and can be used as a power generator. Plug in your phone, your notebook, a light, a small tv or anything you like!

Gruber Assist – the invisible electric bike retrofit
Posted by Daoco in DIY, Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Technology, Unique Designs on January 5, 2010
GRUBER Assist is not dependent on the bicycle brand – required cycle frame specifications
In contrast to the ready-made E-bikes, you have the advantage of being relatively brand-independent when buying a new bicycle.
What you should look for in a frame if you want to install a GRUBER Assist:
- Aluminium or steel frame (carbon currently in test phase)
- Straight, continuous seat tube
- Seat tube with an inner diameter of 31.6mm
(This is given for a seat post with an external diameter of 31.6mm) - The existing seat post will be replaced with a Truvativ XR double clamp (included in delivery)
- Crank set from Shimano Hollowtech II (not included in delivery)
- Seat tube should be as central as possible on the bottom bracket (not shifted forwards or backwards!)
- People with a step length under 80 cm should contact GRUBER Antrieb GmbH & Co KG or their dealer before installation. From the middle of the crank to the saddle (without saddle) the GRUBER Assist has a lenght of 57 cm.
- Installation by a certified GRUBER Assist dealer
