Bike Washing Machine, from the name of this project you would already know what it is. This project combines 2 activities into one. Riding a bike is a popular exercise, washing laundry is something that you might do on daily basis or at least once a weak (unless you keep buying new clothes and underwear), so why not combine them into a single useful equipment/appliance?
Bike Washing Machine combines a stationary bicycle and washing machine, you can exercise while at the same time simultaneously washing your clothes. When you ride this bike, the pedaling motion causes the drum of the washing machine to rotate, at the same time, the superfluous electricity is generated which can be used to power the display screen or stored for future use.

How does the machine clean your clothes? Where is the water intake?
where can i get it ..?
Is this just a prototype?
I need one of these but how much is it and where can I get one?
How can repairs be done when necessary?
Please email me with information on how to purchase bike, cost and where to find it.
Thanks
Hi Erin,
Can you send me a message at [email protected] to know where I can buy this bike? Thank you!

Not in market yet if you read article.
how can i purchase a bike washing machine and how much is the cost?
How much for bike/washing machine?
how much is it
THAT IS MY QUESTION TOO! Why show it if no one can buy it?!
Because it's only concept.
Concepts that actually HELP people AND the environment need to be developed and offered! There are SO many people that would actually purchase this!
PLEASE find the funds – grants – SOMETHING – that would help us all!
PLEASE!!!
Great concept. Perfect for apartment dwellers who aren’t allowed machines…exercise, do laundry & watch your favorite shows simultaneously! But…how does loading and draining of water work? Where does the detergent go? Will these be built to last? (No one wants a product with frequent maintenance issues). What will maintenance entail to keep things running smoothly? Is it possible to design a unit with higher load capacity? What are the potential hinderances? How far is this from concept to product and what will the price point be?
A five gallon bucket and my arms are all I need..
Well I admit this new bike washing machine is very unique design machine I’ve ever seen! I truly like the concept. How much effort need to put to wash clothes in such machine? Any ideas!
When will it be available?
Why would you call this "Bike Washing Machine" (snore…) instead of the "Spin-Cycle"?
GREAT idea, EDR!
Wish it was more than a concept!
Spincycle already exists: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=807100532830668
I would love to see a hand operated version of this concept for people who are unable to use their legs.
You can buy a hand operated washing machine on amazon. I don’t remember manufacturer, but it’s out there.
here's one: https://www.amazon.com/Laundry-Alternative-Wonder…
The hand operated versions have been avail for over 30 years at camping stores. They are simply called manual camping clothes washers 😊
If this will be produced I will be the first one to purchase!
Love.
This is a good concept.
I see several problems with the concept, some of them have already been put here.
– water (loading, draining)
– washing in washing machine requires specific drum rotation (speed, change of rotation direction, …) Did you think about it?
– working capacity (i.e. how much clothes you can wash at once) vs. bike size
Yes, the concept is interesting and it could really help lazy people like me to exercise more, so I want to stay informed 🙂
Le principe est déjà largement testé (et approuvé) par les amateurs d’autonomie énergétique.
Pour l’instant, on fait cela avec un vélo et une machine de récupération.
Lavage et rinçage demandent un pédalage lent. On peut se défouler sur l’essorage, par contre.
De nombreux tuto sont disponibles.
AND I'm certain, once this concept is approved for production, this will be addressed! It must! AND what a great idea…
where can i get it ?
and how much is it?
After reading the info, it is still only a concept!
All the kinks will be worked out, I'm sure, as soon as it is approved!
So… What happens to the missing socks?
Someone should kick start this idea? I feel like it could really take off. I was even thinking about starting a petition to see how many signatures it would get so the makers know how much interest and where. I could do all my laundry in this.
That is a great idea! I would contribute to a kickstarter campaign for this.
ME TOO!!!!!
I want one! Where can I buy this awesome bike?
Where do you buy? Cost? How does drainage work? How long do you ride for per laundry cycle?
Is this available yet?
how we are gonna dry our clothes after we just washed them?
Hi, they have also made a cross trainer to go with it that powers a dryer for your clothes. It is also just a concept at this stage.
Will Duggan in San Diego, USA has built a prototype and is currently seeking investors.
PLEASE post this info on FB so that others, who are anxious for its release, can also invest!
Can this be purchased in Canada? Thank you
With this being a concept and brain storm in 2016, there was a University as well in 2016 working on the construction of a proto type, I was wondering if it ever made it to the consumer level yet?
i want this macine
I am the Public Health Cabinet Member of a Local Authority in the Uk where obesity rates are high. I am also pushing green initiatives. When is this likely to be available please and would you consider us a test partner?
