ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to an assembly, which when attached to a bike, allows this bike to be driven also over water. To buoy the bike and make it float on water, floaters which have the shape of convex lenses, or half of a ball, were used. Each one of those floaters was made to spin around a shaft, which is specially designed so as not to slide, when fixed by brackets to the frame of the bike. The powered wheel carries cylinderoids, fastened to the spokes in it, to do the rowing action. Another type of floaters which may be used, are of the shape of the letter U, and each one surrounds a wheel, and is supported to the frame of the bike, at its wheel's axle level. Also a disc that carries a number of half hyperboloid section, may do the rowing action, once they are put inside the powered wheel. The foot pedals are equiped with platens, to assist the rowing action.
