BodyEnergy Technology Launches Kickstarter for Two Home Models of Its TIME Best Inventions of 2026 Special Mention Treadmill
IRVINE, CA, UNITED STATES, October 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — BodyEnergy Technology today launched its Kickstarter campaign for two home models of the Ab-Drive BodyEnergy treadmill, recently named a Special Mention in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026.The campaign introduces two home versions of the motor-free, human-powered treadmill. Both models use the patented Ab-Drive system, which captures the user’s natural backward stride push through a front abdominal roller. The design requires no electricity to power the belt, gives users full control over speed, and features an immediate “stop-on-you” safety function. Adjustable magnetic resistance provides parachute-like drag for higher-intensity training and HIIT workouts.The two home models offer different belt options to meet a range of needs and budgets. The commercial Ab-Drive model previously debuted at the 2026 HFA Fitness Expo and is currently in use at UFC Gym Torrance, where first-time members learned to operate it within seconds.“After more than a decade of development, we are excited to bring BodyEnergy home,” said Hui Yan, Ph.D., Founder & CEO of BodyEnergy Technology. “Being named a TIME Best Inventions of 2026 Special Mention for the Ab-Drive model is a strong validation of our approach. These home models give people a safer, greener way to run indoors with the same natural push they use outdoors.”The original Hand-Drive version of BodyEnergy was named a TIME Best Invention of 2021. The Ab-Drive models build on that foundation by delivering a closer simulation of outdoor running biomechanics on a compact platform.The Kickstarter campaign is now live at:
