Is it true that the Netherlands invented a new bicycle that combines a treadmill with a bicycle?

Yes.

Dutch uncle Bruin Bergmeester invented a walking bicycle (Lopifit).

A walking bicycle looks like a combination of a bicycle and a treadmill, but the user does not have to run hard, but is as leisurely and comfortable as walking.

The walking bicycle is powered by a 250W motor in the rear wheel. When a person stands on the middle track and moves his feet as if walking, he can trigger the motor to roll the track and move the bicycle forward.

The user's walking speed will affect the forward speed of the bicycle. At the same time, the bicycle has a 6-speed speed adjustment function, with a maximum speed of 25km/h, which is 4 times the walking speed of an adult, and a battery life of up to 55 kilometers.

Extended information

This inventor uncle has actually been a "troublemaker" since he was a child. He likes to "forcibly demolish" the house whenever he has nothing to do. TVs, radios, and alarm clocks have not been able to escape. The amazing thing about Bruin's "Devil's Palm" is that most of the time, he can never forget it and put things back together that he has dismantled.

Later, the uncle reluctantly became a working man. He squatted in front of the computer every day, feeling unhappy. He didn't have enough time to go out for walking and exercise, so he could only reluctantly step on the treadmill in the gym occasionally. One day when he was tired of pedaling, he saw several young people riding bicycles happily passing by. Then, Bruin had an idea why not combine the treadmill with the bicycle.

So the world’s first outdoor walking bicycle was surprisingly born.
