a seat on said frame;
a wheel rotatably mounted on said frame;
an elongate directional slider;
a pedal on said directional slider that slides between first and second positions;
a main drive chain connected to said first wheel;
a main drive sprocket that rotates said main drive chain and thus said first wheel;
a flywheel that rotates said main drive sprocket; and
an energy generating system that converts sliding of said pedal on said directional slider into rotational force to rotate said flywheel,
said energy generating system comprising:
a first electrical coil assembly in connection with said pedal;
a second electrical coil assembly in connection with said directional slider and that cooperates with said first electrical coil assembly to cause generation of electricity; and
an electrical motor that is powered by the generated electricity and is coupled to said flywheel to rotate said flywheel.
