Abstract- This project deals with the design and fabrication of the treadmill cycle. The treadmills are not used to harness power, but as exercise machines for running or walking in one place, we are utilizing same principle for travelling a shorter distances. The motion of the machine is achieved by transferring the human’s energy to the machine through the concept of treadmill. This machine can be helpful for travelling to short distances as well as used for exercise to the peoples. Using this machine, allotting a separate time for their exercise is not needed. The same action performed on the treadmill is used in this machine for the movement of the machine. When the operator, walks On the treadmill then the machine moves forward.The Walking Bicycle is a new way of moving. It is a fun and Eco- Friendly way of transport in affordable price. The idea behind this bicycle is how we can use treadmill outside the Gym. We aspired to build the walking bicycle that is faster than walking and easier to ride than a conventional bicycle. In this Walking bicycle the frame of the bicycle is completely modified ie. The cycling pedals are replaced with a treadmill. When you are walking on the treadmill, you push the treadmill backward with your feet and you move forward
