  • Publication number: 20230241452
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an exercise device comprising a pedal assembly coupled to a braking device. The exercise device comprises a housing, through which a main transverse axle extends and which is arranged at a height of between 120 and 170 mm from the bearing surface on the ground, the main axle being coupled at either side of the housing to a disc-like plate that supports an eccentric transverse axle, the eccentric axles being orientated in a diametrically opposed manner relative to the main transverse axle, each of the eccentric axles being articulated relative to a connection piece with a pedal formed by a plate that is articulated relative to the connection piece by a pivot that is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the plate in order to allow the plate to move between a horizontal active position and a storage position in which it is folded against the vertical face of the housing, the main axle driving a flywheel received in the housing.
