Abstract
A magnetic clutch transitions a drivetrain or flywheel between a freewheel or unlocked mode or configuration and a locked or fixed gear mode or configuration. The magnetic clutch includes a rotor rotationally fixed to the pedals of the drivetrain. An armature is connected to the flywheel. A field coil generates a magnetic field which causes the armature to move to the flywheel. Friction between the armature and the rotor rotationally fixes the flywheel to the rotor.
