Sometimes is hard to find time to exercise because of housework, but this piece of gym equipment gives you the opportunity to do two things at once: wash your laundry and get fit. This bike was developed by Chinese designers and it incorporates a washing machine within its front wheel, thus also saving space. When you start pedaling, it makes the drum to rotate, just like a conventional washing machine. However, the designers failed to mention if the bike will automatically fill and drain with water.
- The Bike Washing Machine replaces the front wheel with a washing drum
The bike includes a generator which produces electricity that you can store for later, therefore being cost-effective. Its generator could become a reliable supply of energy if you live in an area without access to it.
At the Dalian Nationalities University, students are building a prototype of this bike. They said: Riding a bike is a popular exercise, but washing laundry is something that you might do on daily basis or at least once a week, unless you keep buying new clothes and underwear, so why not combine them into a single useful equipment/appliance?
A similar device was developed in 2011 by Richard Hewitt, a design student at Sheffield Hallam University.
Jog and wash at the same time!
If this device didn’t convince you, maybe one that combines a treadmill with a washing machine will do that.
This hamster wheel looking machine features a series of wash tubs enclosed within a large rotating wheel, which also generates electricity. A South Korean designer, named Si Hyeong Ryu, proposed this concept for the 2014 Electrolux Design Lab competition.
Interesting. So where is it sold online?
$ and where can I get one?

How much ??? And is this available to buy??
I want one! Where are they sold?
I absolutely want to get one too , where can we buy it please? ?
I want one! Where can I get it? and How mutch?
I want this right NOW
I want 1
Would love to get one once all the bugs are worked ou, build away engineers 🙂 keep us updated <3
How do you fill it with water and drain the water?
They had bicycles in the WW2 that were wired to generate electricity. Why not put prisoners on bicycles to generate power! Let them do something useful or create a laundry and earn money to run the prison instead of using taxes from honest people!
So you want the original treadmills brought back? (look it up).
Do you think Prisoners don’t work, There is PIA Prison Industry Authority, which sews the clothes they wear, the clothes that Firefighters where, and many other things. What makes you think they just sit on their ass. Go to prison and find out how they work.
Let me guess …..maga.
Horrifying.
We call unpaid workers without freedom slaves not prisoners.
Good Idea! That’s why it would nerver happen! Congress only passes Bills to raise their Salaries or other insane projects.
I would buy both of these. Is there anywhere online to purchase these? Please let me know.
How does it dump out the water?
Where can I get one and how much?
Awesome. I would get one of price not exorbitant.
please email me with a bike subject line
Where can I buy n how much I live in Durban, Pinetown, South Africa
Oh I’ve been in market for laundry set, and now I want this instead! Burn calories, and save money for beers! Lol
Where do I get some of these???
I don’t just want one I need one
How much?
That would be good in college dorms
Are these available in South Africa ?
What’s the price. How do you get water in and out.
How is it filled and drained?
Wheres mine?
How much?
What about the wheel how much? What are the prices?
Please keep me informed I am interested
A new way to think of spinning for exercise! seriously how fast do you
need to pedal to spin out the clothes?
Please let me know when/where these are available for purchase
Price MUST be out of most peoples pocket book or they would give it.
Where can I buy the washer bike?
This would be cool, especially if as it says, it could also generate some electricity, which could then be used for a spin cycle (rider would be off bike and spin would be independent of the pedals to reduce hazard.)
Ok but…..unless you literally wash all your laundry by hand….how is this any different than putting a load of laundry in your washing machine, and then exercising? Why the hell would you buy something that can only wash laundry if you ride it….what if you wanted to do laundry when you went to the store? hahahaha so pointless. Lol clearly a millennial designed this…..
Sweat and tears
Sweat and tears ?
Are these bikes available yet? To purchase?
Sold on Amazon for $235.99
Where would all the water go?
I want one
Please let me know when and where I can purchase one
Does it Work with Zwift???
Excellent idea
I need one of these right now ! Good job this is perfect idea
how fast do you have to pedal to spin it out! i think my clothes would be sopping wet when
they come out lol
I have been watching this device online litterally for years as I built my tiny house. The machine does not exist. It’s vaporware. It’s not available and as far as I can tell probably won’t be. It’s a concept and nothing more.
Omg what a Pearler of an idea. I really want 1.
The treadmill was originally designed as punishment in prison. A lot of former ideas should be used today
