Brazilian Youtuber From The Channel ‘Metal Projetos’ Developed An Electric Bike With A Treadmill Motor Capable Of Reaching 24km/h. The Inventor Has Already Developed Several Other Interesting Vehicles.

Have you ever thought about transforming that treadmill that’s been sitting unused in your house for years into something more interesting? That’s what the Brazilian Youtuber from the channel Metal Projetos, Schirleno Almeida, did, turning his regular bike into a treadmill motor electric bike. The project gained attention on social media this week.

Youtuber Explains How He Developed The Electric Bike With A Treadmill Ergometer Motor

Schirleno Almeida reports that he initially used an older, rusty 20-inch wheel for traction. After cleaning the material, he removed all the spokes from the rim to make strategic holes. The smaller rim was attached to the wheel of the electric bike using rubber pieces.

With the rear section almost finished, the next challenge was to determine the ideal location to install the treadmill ergometer motor. To support the propulsor, he welded two metal plates to the bike. The motor was then connected to the smaller rim via a belt, and a automotive pulley was added to increase the contact area of the belt, enhancing the transmitted force.

In addition to this treadmill motor electric bike, the Youtuber has developed several other models with different motors. Among them is the electric bike with a Makita marble saw motor. With the tire in the air, this version developed by Schirleno was able to reach over 100 km/h. In this project, the battery of a car was attached to the rear of the electric bike.

However, due to not having enough torque, in tests conducted on the track, the vehicle reached a topspeed of only 30 km/h, which is incredibly high compared to the electric bikes sold on the market. Among other innovative projects developed by the Youtuber are an electric baby stroller, a hybrid bike, an electric wheelbarrow, a friction-powered bike with a brush cutter, and much more.

Reddit User Develops Bike Powered By Washing Machine Motor

A very creative engineer used parts from a washing machine to develop a modern electric bike based on a common model that he had owned for 20 years. The unique creation was posted on Reddit, a social network that functions like a forum, identifying himself as Jimminecraftguy. Electric models are currently in fashion as they are strongly linked to sustainability and environmental preservation.

The electric bike developed by the user was nicknamed The Spin Cycle, which translates to something like Centrifuge Bike in our language. To develop it, the inventor used a 1,100 W washing machine motor attached to the center of the bike frame.

After that, it was simply a matter of passing the vehicle’s chain through the propulsor’s gear, which, when activated, moves the chain, propelling the rear wheel of the vehicle. According to Jim, his electric bike can reach speeds of up to 110 km/h, enough to make the rider break a cold sweat.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
