Abstract

An upright bike includes a main frame including a front portion and a rear portion. A rail structure is connected to the rear portion of the main frame. An X-shaped frame is slidably mounted to the rail structure and pivotally connected to the front portion of the main frame. A slide end is formed on the X-shaped frame and slidably mounted onto the rail structure. A stepping structure is mounted on a lower section of the first trestle of the X-shaped frame. A seat is secured on a top of the first trestle of the X-shaped frame. A handlebar is transversally secured on the X-shaped frame. A restitute element has two opposite ends respectively secured on the first trestle and the second trestle of the X-shaped frame for providing restitution force to the X-shaped frame when the handlebar is upwardly pulled.

Claims (12)

1. An upright bike apparatus with a pull training function, the upright bike apparatus comprising:

a main frame having a front portion and a rear portion;

a rail structure connected to said rear portion of said main frame;

an X-shaped frame slidably mounted to said rail structure and pivotally connected to said front portion of said main frame, said X-shaped frame having a first trestle and a second trestle each having a middle portion laterally pivotally connected to each other by a pivot axle that extends through said first trestle and said second trestle, wherein a hinge end is formed on a lower portion of said first trestle and is pivotally connected to said front portion of said main frame, wherein a slide end is formed on a rear end of said second trestle and is slidably mounted onto said rail structure, wherein said rail structure has two T-shaped grooves respectively defined in two opposite sides thereof, said slide end being formed with two stems each having a roller laterally mounted thereon, wherein each of the rollers is movable in a corresponding one of the two T-shaped grooves;

a stepping structure mounted on a lower section of said first trestle of said X-shaped frame, said stepping structure having a crank rotatably extending through said first trestle of said X-shaped frame, wherein two pedals are respectively pivotally mounted on two opposite ends of said crank, and wherein a damping device is rotatably mounted to said first trestle of said X-shaped frame and rotatable with said crank;

a seat secured on a top of said first trestle of said X-shaped frame;

a handlebar transversely secured on a top of said second trestle of said X-shaped frame, said slide end of said second trestle being movable along said rail structure, said seat being lifted when said handlebar is upwardly pulled; and

a restitute element having two opposite ends respectively secured on said first trestle and said second trestle of said X-shaped frame so as to provide a restitution force to said X-shaped frame when said handlebar is upwardly pulled.

2. The upright bike apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said restitute element has at least one spring.

3. The upright bike apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said restitute element has at least one resilient rope.

4. The upright bike apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said front portion and said rear portion of said main frame respectively have a first joint and a second joint secured thereon, wherein a first locking pin and a second locking pin selectively and respectively extend through said first joint and said second joint so as to provide a folding function to said main frame.

5. The upright bike apparatus of claim 3 , wherein said front portion and said rear portion of said main frame respectively have a first joint and a second joint secured thereon, wherein a first locking pin and a second locking pin selectively and respectively extend through said first joint and said second joint so as to provide a folding function to said main frame.
