What is it?
While you are on this bike, cycling you daily calories off, you’re immediately doing your laundry. How? Check this! The washing cycle is an idea of some Chinese designers, and is published on the website design Tuvie.com. The idea is simple: under the wheel of the spinning bike is the drum of the washing machine. By cycling you bring the drum in motion. The disadvantage is of course that it’s not an intelligent machine with a full washing program, it’s just for the quick laundry between.
Why is it cool?
This design is aimed at the sporting citizen who has enough money to purchase a spinning bike or go to the gym. But devices that can operate without electricity are also ideal for areas where no reliable power supply. And because they consume no power, it is also very good for the environment, it’s a sustainable product. The laundry is something that everyone has to do, unfortunately. But with this bike/washing machine you can combine household chores with your daily work out which can save you a lot of time. It improves your quality of life in a both physically as social way. Physically because you are improving your health by working out and socially because you are saving time and that leads to more social time with friends or family for example.
Why has it future growth potential?
The bike washing machine has future growth potential because people become more and more aware of the environment and are willing to improve this where they can. People today have increasingly busy lives, many of them plan their day hour by hour and often have little time for fun stuff. So now with this multitasking machine they can save time for fun stuff!
