Lopifit, World’s First Electric Bike Fitted with an Electric Treadmill

The Lopifit bike is a special kind of bike created by Bruin Bergmeester from the Netherlands. It combines a treadmill and a bike together. It has a treadmill powered by a 350W Samsung lithium-ion battery, allowing people to walk while the treadmill moves.

The bike has a longer base than usual, and it doesn’t have a seat because it’s meant only for walking. Bergmeester invented this bike four years ago, and it has recently become available in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

The battery in the Lopifit bike can go for a distance of 30 to 50 miles, which is similar to many electric bikes used for commuting. Like a regular bike, riders can choose different speeds, ranging from four to 17 miles per hour. According to Lopifit, this means that people walking on the Lopifit bike can go as fast as or faster than other cyclists on the same path.

The bike’s design is eye-catching, with different colors available on a steel frame coated with powder. There’s a display on the handlebars that shows the battery status, and there’s a rack at the back for storage. However, it’s important to note that the Lopifit bike is quite heavy, weighing 125 pounds.

Some might wonder why someone would choose a walking bike like the Lopifit instead of a regular bike or simply walking. With a price of $2,495, it’s unlikely that the Lopifit bike will become a common sight on city streets. Nevertheless, for those who have always wanted an electric walking bike, the Lopifit offers a unique option to fulfill that desire.
