Foottroller biking mode: ride a stationary bike in PC games

From Foottroller Hub v2.0, a biking mode has been added to the custom control with vJoy for PC games. It allows Foottroller to be used on a stationary bike to drive movement in PC games by pedaling.

Demonstration

Pedal a real stationary bike and ride in Riders Republic. Foottroller Hub v2.0 adds a new biking mode that turns Foottroller into a bike controller, so your own pedaling drives the bike in the game.

How it works:
• Speed: the faster you pedal, the faster you go in the game. Pedal slowly for a relaxed ride, and pedal hard to sprint.
• Brake: Stop pedaling, keep the right foot still, and tilt the left foot downward to brake. You can slow down or stop without reaching for a button.
• Steering: you steer with a gamepad, so your hands handle direction while your feet handle speed and braking.

Why it's great:
• Your real pedaling controls the speed, so riding in the game feels natural and physical.
• Speed and brake come from your feet, so your hands stay free to steer.
• It works with a stationary bike you may already have.
• Pedaling makes gaming more active, so playing can double as exercise.

Foottroller Hub 2.0 adds a biking mode, so you can use Foottroller on a stationary bike and drive biking games just by pedaling. This step-by-step guide shows how to set it up for a game like Riders Republic.

What you'll need:
• A PC game that supports a gamepad, such as Riders Republic
• A stationary bike
• Foottroller, with Foottroller Hub v2.0
• A physical gamepad for steering
• vJoy, x360ce, and HIDHide

What this video covers:
1. Run Foottroller hub v2.0, enter biking mode, and send control data to vJoy virtual controller.
2. Create a virtual xbox controller in x360ce; Bind controls from the vJoy virtual controller for acceleration, and brake; Bind controls from a physical gamepad for steering and game control.
3. Bind your physical gamepad to the virtual Xbox controller for steering and game control
4. Use HIDHide to hide the other controllers so the game sees only the virtual Xbox controller
5. Enable the virtual Xbox controller and start riding
