Abstract
A stationary exercise equipment has a supporting structure, a movable user interface connected to the supporting structure, and a force-resisting device. The force-resisting device with a hub mounted continuously variable transmission configured therein provides a variable resistance force that varies an amount of force with a movement of the movable user interface. The hub mounted variable transmission is operably to vary the resistance force of the movable user interface in a manner of varying a rotational rate of the user interface to increase or decrease as required.
