Balance bike

What It Shows

Many people must have ridden bicycles before. To ride a two wheeled bicycle well, one needs to have excellent balance and exercise. What methods are needed to ride a bicycle we designed without wheels?

Science Behind It

Balance force refers to several forces acting on the same object. If the object is still in a stationary state or in a uniform linear motion, the combined force of these forces is zero, and we say that these forces are balanced.

Description

Exhibition items consist of mechanical structures, rotating structures, handles, footrests, tracks, platforms, etc.

Please be advised that exhibit items utilize the interaction of a downward gravity, a forward force, and the friction of the vehicle, among other forces, to enable us to travel forward without falling and maintain balance. This exhibit is very suitable for exercising balance and can effectively improve the coordination of muscles and body in our legs, hips, waist, and other areas. source factory of science museum exhibits - Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd. Reminder: You can also feel the bumps and undulations of the bicycle while driving, increase your psychological endurance and courage, stimulate the vestibular response ability, and improve our learning focus. Isn't it a win-win situation? Then come up and give it a try!

How to Take Part

1. Riding a bicycle and taking protective measures;

2. Watch the demonstration;

3. Attempt to ride a balance bike along the track, with the audience holding onto the two straight bars above with both hands, stepping on one pedal with each foot, and then forcefully pushing the pedal forward;

4. Summary of cycling experience: Is it difficult to try cycling for the first time? Try adjusting your body posture, keeping your body vertical, and pedaling your bike again to experience the feeling. Think about why this is happening?

Knowledge extension

Many people must have ridden bicycles before. To ride a two wheeled bicycle well, one needs to have excellent balance and exercise. Today at our Science Museum in Ningxia, there is also a bicycle like this, but it doesn't have wheels. What methods do you need to ride it well?

Firstly, we need an audience member to demonstrate. The audience should hold the two straight poles above with both hands, step on one foot pedal with each foot, and then push the pedal forward with force to see if it is very laborious? How can we ride him effortlessly? Let's try keeping our body vertical again. After pedaling the bicycle, we will find that it is not as strenuous as before. So why is this?

In fact, this balance bike is mainly designed to exercise our balance ability. source factory of science museum exhibits - Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd. The so-called balance force refers to several forces acting on the same object. If the object is still in a stationary state or in a uniform linear motion, the combined force of these forces is zero, and we say that these forces are balanced. For example, in our bicycle, we have a downward gravity, a forward force, and the friction of the vehicle, among others. These forces interact with each other, allowing us to move forward without falling. We say we maintain balance.

This exhibit has a moderate amount of exercise, making it perfect for exercising balance and effectively improving the coordination of muscles in our legs, hips, waist, and other areas. source factory of science museum exhibits - Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd.
