TerraCycle shifted its efforts from building whole recumbent bicycles to manufacturing recumbent cycling parts and has since gained international recognition in the recumbent cycling community. [5] [6] Today, TerraCycle parts can be found in stores in North America, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan and around the world online.
A recumbent delta is similar to an upright, with two wheels at the back and one at the front, but has a recumbent layout in which the rider is seated in a chair-like seat. One or both rear wheels can be driven, while the front is used for steering (the usual layout).
In addition, Life Fitness created InMovement, a product line for workplaces, and acquired SCIFIT. [11] In January 2016, Cybex International became part of Life Fitness following its $195 million acquisition by Brunswick Corporation. [12] Indoor Cycling Group was also acquired the same year.

Coil, elastomer, and air-sprung suspension systems have all been used on recumbent bikes, with oil or air-damping in the forks and rear shock absorbers. The maturation of fully suspended conventional mountain bikes has aided the development of these designs, which often use many of the same parts, suitably modified for recumbent use.
After developing nerve deterioration over the last years of his life, Brown lost his ability to ride an upright bicycle [1] and continued riding with a recumbent tricycle. [35] In August 2007, Brown was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He died on February 4, 2008, in Newton, Massachusetts, [36] after a heart attack. [7 ...
A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, [1] is a brushless DC electric motor that rotates in a series of small and discrete angular steps. [2] Stepper motors can be set to any given step position without needing a position sensor for feedback. The step position can be rapidly increased or decreased to create continuous ...
SRMs are used in some appliances, [12] in linear form for wave energy conversion, [13] magnetic levitation trains, [14] or industrial sewing machines. [15] The same electromechanical design can be used in a generator. The load is switched to the coils in sequence to synchronize the current flow with the rotation.
When a stator pole is energized, the rotor torque is in the direction that reduces reluctance. Thus, the nearest rotor pole is pulled from the unaligned position into alignment with the stator field (a position of less reluctance). (This is the same effect used by a solenoid, or when picking up ferromagnetic metal with a magnet.) To sustain ...
