The HeartBike is a fictional cycle shown in this [short ad for Becel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-real-boost) to promote the company's upcoming Ride for Heart charity ride.

The commercial features a wheelchair at first and a man in his shop, who starts to take the chair apart slowly. After moulding and hammering to adjust the entire shape of the wheelchair, it eventually turns into a bike, which is then road away into the distance. The commercial speaks to the fact that if people do not take care of their health (through activities such as [bike riding weekly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptive-bike)), then the chances of suffering from a heart-related illness becomes higher. Hopefully this commercial will inspire people to take care of themselves, and get out and exercise more often than they would.
