To reduce the space demand required by stairways and also the installation and maintenance costs of an elevator, get the Pedalvator.
The Pedalvator also comes equiped with special 'moving day' gears that let you slowly lift heavy loads without endangering yourself and others.

Can I install the optional electric motor to pedal the bike that powers the lift for me? |

Also an escalator that is driven by a stair climber? |

Told ya we should have taken the stairs. |

Use a stepper to pump your way up. |

Human powered elevators have been around for a while (link). Treadmill powered ones were also used in the Middle Ages to build churches and such. |

I am very impressed that Treadmill powered ones
[elevators] were also used in the Middle Ages to build
churches and such. |

Combine that thing with an old-style sideways at the stacks
library ladder, some impressive shift gearing, and you have
a steampunk Wonkavator! |
