INTRODUCTION The treadmill bike is totally new way of moving it is done by the combination of electric and mechanical part i.e. battery and gear.motion of bike from one place to another place will be done by human effort. The electric assist in the combination with the gear has three gear pair boosting your walking pace up the regular bike. With the electric assist it takes no more efforts than a walk in the park. Treadmill bike is basically a new concept for travelling and exercising. [5] It eliminates most of the issues related to both. As we know how important exercise is in this stress full world so it helps to maintain our health as it works through human effort. Due to the ever increasing demand of fuel for various purposes it also eliminates the use of any fuel in any case. The gears present in it provide us the speed which is required for travelling faster. This makes this bike different from a simple bicycle. With less effort we can drive through a long way. [6] A treadmill is a device generally for walking or running while staying in the same place. Treadmills were introduced before the development of powered machines, to harness the power of animals or humans to do work, often a type of mill that was operated by a person or animal treading steps of a tread wheel to grind grain. In later times, treadmills were used as punishment devices for people sentenced to hard labour in prisons. The terms treadmill and tread wheel were used interchangeably for the power and punishment mechanisms.

2 II. LITERATURE SURVEY "Physical activity," "exercise," and "physical fitness" are terms that describe different concepts. However, they are often confused with one another, and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. This paper proposes definitions to distinguish them. Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that result in energy expenditure. The energy expenditure can be measured in kilocalories. Physical activity in daily life can be categorized into occupational, sports, conditioning, household, or other activities. Exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive and has as a final or an intermediate objective the improvement or maintenance of physical fitness. Physical fitness is a set of attributes that are either health- or skill-related. The degree to which people have these attributes can be measured with specific tests. These definitions are offered as an interpretational framework for comparing studies that relate physical activity, exercise, and physical fitness to health. [1] A new continuous treadmill protocol (USAFSAM) has been designed using a constant treadmill speed (3.3 miles/hour) and regular equal increments in treadmill grade (5 percent/3 min). The constant treadmill speed requires only initial adaptation in patient stride, reduces technician adjustments and produces less electrocardiographic motion artefact than do protocols using multiple or higher treadmill speeds, or both. The regular equal increments in treadmill grade are easy to implement and provide a larger number of workloads than do protocols that are discontinuous or require larger changes in work load. [2] In this paper, an experimental validation of the lateral dynamics of a bicycle running on a treadmill is presented. From a theoretical point of view, bicycling straight ahead on a treadmill with constant belt velocity should be identical to bicycling on flat level ground with constant forward speed. However, two major differences remain: first, stiffness s of the contact of the tire with the belt compared to the contact on flat level ground; second, the belt velocity is fixed with respect to the world, irrespective of the change in heading of the bicycle on the treadmill. The admissibility of these two differences is checked by comparing experimental results with numerical simulation results. The numerical simulations are performed on a three-degree-of-freedom benchmarked bicycle model [3] Exercise is inevitable to keep health in good status. There are few scientific studies to show the differences between different types of exercises in health and disease. In our study we compared the treadmill exercise and bicycle ergometer exercise and their effect on maximum heart rate attained, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in twenty one healthy volunteer aged between eighteen to twenty years. We recorded these subjects blood pressure before exercise and after exercise; heart rate before exercise, during exercise and after exercise. Also we enlisted the advantages and disadvantages of treadmill exercise and bicycle ergometer exercise, so that these two types of exercise can be appropriately used for health promotion, diagnosis of diseases and for rehabilitation of the individuals. [4] III. METHODOLOGY Millions of people used bicycle everyday although very little modification has been done till now, very little research has been done in order to modify the basic structure of bicycle into the most effective design which is the best for human comfort. Modification has been tested on the racing track where many uncontrollable factors may affect the result. It is important to identify the energy output while riding different types of bicycles. Design change in the model should not make the cycle look All rights Reserved 891

3 Cycling is considered as one of the best exercise to eliminate the disease such as blood pressure and obesity. The Dutch has deep love affair with the bicycle which it was probably deemed a good idea to mixing concepts of treadmill with that of bike. We know treadmill is one of the modern equipment for excising in modern era. So it was new idea to merge the treadmill and cycle in order to exercise as well as to move from one place to another. Treadmill bike is a combination of bicycle and treadmill, it help us to perform two works at a time firstly transport,which is the most essential activity of a person in day to day life. Secondly since the treadmill bike works on human efforts it saves time for exercising. The main feature of the treadmill bike which makes it different from cycle is that it contains gear motor and battery which helps to travel at a faster rate than the cycle with less human efforts as compared to cycle. It is also cheaper than a normal motor bike which also makes it economic. No fuel is consumed. by it because of this reason it is economic and environment friendly. IV. SPECIFICATION A. Motor DC motors for electric scooters and other electric devices Voltage: 24V Wattage: 350W Rotation: 2650 RPM Torque: 2.5 N.M to 4 N.M Efficiency(%): >75 Dimension(Width x Length) = 101*69 B. Battery 12AMH Figure 1 Treadmill Bike The basic components of the treadmill bike consist of motor, treadmill, push type switch and cycle gear box. As soon as we push the push type switch then metal slit of push type switch is pushed and electrical contact is created in between motor and push type switch. Switch is connected to a motor the starting torque is given to the motor by the battery the treadmill bike start moving simultaneously and we start moving on treadmill bike. The work of the motor reduces as soon as we start moving on it, the gear arrangement provide us the variation in the speed as per our requirement. The shaft of the treadmill is connected to the chain type mechanism which drives the gear through which cycle tiers moves. The battery is situated in the box above the rear wheel it can be a onetime use or rechargeable battery. The speedometer is connected on the handle to indicate speed of the treadmill bike. A treadmill bike requires a larger area to take turn than a normal bicycle. So distance should be maintained as soon as we know we should have taken a All rights Reserved 892

FUTURE SCOPE The treadmill bike is totally new way of moving it is done by the new way of electric and mechanical part assessment battery and gear.motion of bike from one place to another place will be done by human effort. The electric assist is in the combination with the gear. The three gear pair boosting your walking pace up the regular bike. As we know the bike works on more on human effort it helps to eliminate a health issues like obesity and lungs diseases, driving it daily through as short distance can help to maintain good health as we know it does not use any fuel of which the cost is increasing frequently nowadays becoming very costly this will be a good option for travelling in the near future. It can be driven by any person of different edges. Due to scarcity of fuel, treadmill bike will benefit e great extend to human life. It also helps in exercising which is required for a person to be fit, so treadmill bike also saves time for exercising. Figure 3 Assembly of Treadmill All rights Reserved 893

5 CONCLUSION In this paper we have described a new way of travelling as well as exercise with the help of a new model of bike which is combination of treadmill and bicycle. It can be used in place of regular bike at cheaper cost and without use of fuel. The treadmill bike will proof to be a future vehicle as no fuel is used for travelling through this and it is pollution free. The treadmill which is used for walking helps to keep us fit as exercise is also one of the important task for a person to be fit and healthy for day to day life. Treadmill is cheaper than the normal bike which also makes it efficient and economic. REFERENCES [1] Caspersen CJ, Powell KE, Christenson GM.
