Mobile Treadmill

Posted by Alex in Gadget, Sports on November 15, 2008 at 4:35 pm


If you think about it, treadmills are kind of weird: you walk or run but never go anywhere … So Alex Astilean of SpeedFit decided that he’ll remedy that paradox.

Behold the first human-powered mobile treadmill … and boy does it boogie down the road!: Link (embedded YouTube clip) – Thanks Marilyn!

    I like the guy's engineering ability, but do not think it will ever be a product.

    Why not just run without the treadmill...?

    I was wondering how many posts it would take before someone stated the obvious.

    Apparently, the answer is 4.

    This was an old MST3K gag. And they actually built one, so there's no way this is the first. :P

    I guess he must be the designer of the solar-powered torchlight.

    As ridiculous as it may seem, the contraption does seem to be able to propel the runner to a greater speed than that which he'd be able to achieve otherwise. Not entirely useless.
