ABSTRACT:
The motorcycle trainer is a fixed location simulated motorcycle motion producing device. A frame and operating components are covered by a motorcycle trainer body having a seat and foot pads so the user may sit on the trainer as if on a motorcycle. Handlebars are attached to the frame in the normal manner for a motorcycle. The frame is mounted on a spring plate assembly using rotational joints and an eccentric lever attached to an eccentric motor also mounted on the spring plate assembly. The motion of the eccentric lever provides vertical motion on the front portion of the motorcycle trainer. The spring plate assembly is mounted on a base plate using rotational joints and a fluid pressure device is attached between the spring plate assembly and the base plate to provide vertical motion on the rear portion of the motorcycle trainer. The spring plate assemble has a universal joint to allow motion from side-to-side on the motorcycle trainer as well as vertically. The attachment also provides a small front and rear pitching motion.
