Stay Cool Working Out

The Cycool is designed for people who hate working out and hate sweating. It goes without saying if you work out, you’re going to sweat - thus we have millions of overweight (but dry) people around the world. With the Cycool, put those sweat gland in check. The system is powered by your own peddling. The faster you peddle, the faster the fan.

Knowing me, I’d probably lean over and start singing. You know how you get that distorted robotic voice when you speak into a fan? Don’t act like I’m the only one.

Asian guy,

Stop making me laugh.
Your designs are very rudimentary ideas and shape.

Hey Jin, don’t mind.

In a day and age where my toaster and blender both have an LCD display, I welcome the fact that this has a more ‘furniture’ then ‘appliance’ look to it.

I’ve ridden a bike using the same concept, which was purchased by a family friend circa 1987. Instead of the in-your-face fan, the fan served as a “front wheel” for the bike, with the ventilation angled so that it cooled your entire body at once.

Yeah it’s been done, but I wish it looked more comfortable, the seat looks small, and to be honest, it’s a weight loss device with a seat that looks like it would only fit a ballerina. Design is very modern, but having a health club one size fits all version that’s more beefy and maybe a little less stylish would have more appeal.
All bikes should be made with this feature, as the energy gets wasted anyway, and nothing makes you want to ride longer than being cool and comfy with a nice breeze like riding outdoors.
The only improvement to this design is an generator that powers a battery to supply a cooler full of drinks and salty snacks…but then that might defeat the purpose.

I-d rather attach a gearbox and a tv to those pedals. So if you wanna watch tv, you have to work out. This way, we don’t get fat sitting (actually riding) in front of the tv. AND you save power, rather than wasting it.

Thank you for comments everyone.
At that time, I had to make concept and design within 2 days for some resons.
This pannel is for explanation to others about only concept, and I had to bring 2 options; minimized the materials and plastic, protecting enviroment.
So Cycool’s shape is not good looking even for me. Cycool is being developed and new latest version of the Cycool is totally diffrent shape with this picture. The new version of the cycool has only 2 steel frame and body, and I’m considering how to use electricty effectively such as using TV(as Fr3ak recommneded), recharging otherelse and so on..
You will see the Cycool in the market.
Anyway, thank for your comments.
