Abstract - The design and fabrication of a treadmill bicycle
involves creating a hybrid exercise machine that combines the benefits of both a treadmill and a bicycle. The device allows users to walk or run on a motorized treadmill while also pedaling a bicycle, providing a full-body workout that targets multiple muscle groups. The design process involves incorporating safety features, such as automatic shut-off mechanisms, to ensure the user's safety. The fabrication process involves using durable materials and innovative design techniques to create a stable and comfortable machine. The resulting product offers an alternative to traditional stationary bikes and treadmills, providing users with a dynamic and challenging workout that simulates outdoor running and cycling. Key Words: Bearings, Rollers, Gears, Shaft, Belt, selection & designing of walkable pushbike.

1.INTRODUCTION
The fabrication of the treadmill traveler is very advantageous because of its simple construction and easy working principle. To say in a one line, this machine follows the action of the user. That is, when the driver walks forward, the machine moves forward and when he walks backward, the machine moves backward. A treadmill setup is made so that the operator can walk on the belt. A handle is placed in the front for the controlling of the vehicle. The rollers above which the conveyor belt (treadmill belt), held in tension are coupled to the wheels of the machine, usually rear wheels. The rollers are connected by a suitable arrangement, One advantage of using rollers is that they can reduce friction between surfaces in contact, which can lead to lower energy losses during motion transmission. This can help to improve the efficiency of the overall system and reduce the amount of energy required to achieve the desired motion. The frame of the machine is designed in such a way that it is balanced and the operator doesn’t put any effort in balancing the machine. Now when the operator walks forward, the conveyor belt moves in one direction which makes the wheels of the machine to rotate so that the machine moves front. When he walks
A Walkable pushbike, also known as a "treadmill bike," is a unique piece of exercise equipment that combines the features of a treadmill and a bicycle. It consists of a treadmill belt, similar to those found on a traditional treadmill, mounted on a lightweight frame with two wheels and handlebars. The user stands on the belt and uses the handlebars to steer and maintain balance while walking or running on the belt. The concept of a treadmill bicycle originated as a way to provide an outdoor running experience while indoors, and has gained popularity as a fun and efficient way to get a cardio workout. The design allows for a low-impact exercise that is easy on the joints, making it a suitable option for people of all ages and fitness levels. The treadmill bike is also portable, making it ideal for outdoor activities and events, such as marathons and triathlons. Overall, the treadmill bicycle provides a unique and engaging exercise experience that combines the benefits of walking or running with the added excitement of cycling.
