Control device, transport apparatus, and method

A transport apparatus, comprising a control device comprising a fitness apparatus having a base part and at least one movable part movable with respect to the base part for enabling a user to perform a physical exercise, wherein the fitness apparatus comprises a flywheel rotatably connected to the base part, wherein the fitness apparatus is arranged for setting the flywheel into motion by at least one of the one or multiple movable parts, wherein the control device further comprises a sensor device for sensing a degree of physical exercise at least partly by sensing a degree of motion of the flywheel, and wherein the control device is arranged for controlling engine power of an engine of the transport apparatus at least partly based on the sensed degree of physical exercise at least partly sensed by sensing the degree of motion of the flywheel.

A method for controlling an engine driven transport apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• powering or driving the transport apparatus merely by one or multiple engines of said transport apparatus;
• and
• controlling engine power of said one or multiple engines of the engine driven transport apparatus at least partly based on a sensed degree of motion of a flywheel set into motion by physical exercise performed by an operator of said transport apparatus.
