upper limbs, lower limbs, and abdomen are balanced and exercised all over.
Combined with a virtual reality scene and sound system, it can make the
user feel as if he were running freely in the wild.
Furthermore, because the Bio-Cycle can be driven by either hands or legs
or any combination of any hand and leg, users will be able to carry out a
variety of exercise motions that cannot be achieved by a traditional fitness
cycle. Theoretically, there are fourteen running modes for the Bio-Cycle
