Abstract (en)

The user pulls on the two hand levers (10) and stands on two sliding pedals (13). The frame of the machine has two horizontal members (1a) resting on the floor, with a raised front portion (1b) carrying an electric motor (5) turning a spindle (4) and adjusting the vertical position of the lever pivot (8). The bottom ends of the levers are pivoted (11) to the forward ends of horizontal sliders (14) connected to a wheel (19) by rods (12) and cranks. The pedals move longitudinally on the sliders and are connected to the wheel by adjustable (18) cranks (17). A belt drive (23) connects the crank wheel to a flywheel (24) rotating at a higher speed.
