Patent ID: 8632088

Claim:
A mobile ergonomic exercise tricycle apparatus, comprising: two front wheels; one rear wheel of substantially a same diameter as said two front wheels; two front handles, one for each hand of a rider; two pedals circularly rotatable about a central pivot point, one for each foot of the rider; a connection between said pedals and said rear wheel such that actuation of said pedals by the rider's feet rotating said pedals about said central pivot point rotates said rear wheel to move said tricycle forward; a connection between said handles and said front wheels such that turning said handles simultaneously turns said front wheels to steer said apparatus and said tricycle is not steered by leaning; and a mid-frame shock suspension for providing a spring tension between a mid-frame member and a rear frame member of said apparatus, said mid-frame member connecting said two front wheels with said rear frame member and said rear frame member further having a connection to said rear wheel; wherein: said tricycle does not comprise any seat for sitting; said pedals are positioned relative to said front handles such that when the rider's feet are atop said pedals and the rider's hands are touching said front handles, the rider is forced into a substantially upright, standing position when said apparatus is at rest and in motion; and said spring tension absorbs and mitigates shocks from said apparatus riding over uneven surfaces.
