This exotic bicyce is classified as a High Torque Cruiser or HTC. Its main propulsion system is composed

of "L" shaped second class levers, which pull, rearwardly, seperate transmission chains connected to

member drive sprockets. Each drive sprocket is located within the tube of the aluminum frame. This

mechanical configuration is nessesary, so that rearward pulling force can be directed centrally through

each lever machine and their associated componets. This configuration also prevents lever wobbling and

missalignment. The "L" shaped lever on this HCT is designed to allow a rider to take advantage of gravity

by using their weight to press down on each pedal, which would produce a multiplied propulsion force by

over two times the riders weight. This bicycle provides more propulsion power than any production bicycle

on the market. Therefore, acceleration on this machine is much greater, which is one of the unique benifits

it offers.

Each lever machine has a horizontal tubular portion that is reinforced on the inside with a steel beam or

other high dense material. This allows for safety when it comes to riding on rough terrain or stunt jumping.

So one may wonder, Why was the bicycle designed like this, or why are the levers on the bicycle so long?

The reason why the bicycle was designed this way, can be found in the laws of mechanical physics: A

lever machine will gain more mechanical advantage when the length of the area of applied force to the

fulcrum is longer than the distance from the load being moved to the same fulcrum. So obviously, we would

have to make the tubular portion of the lever machine longer in length in order to divide the effort needed

to propel the rider forward. This reasoning can be found the equation which is: Mechanical Advantage

equals distance of the effort from the fulcrum divided by the distance of the load from the fulcrum. Both

lever machines would have to reciprocate in symetrical motions for optimal performance of the bicycle.

This reciprocal motion is achieved by a steel cable attached to the mid horizontal portion of each lever

machine. The steel cable is looped around one lever, then runs through the piston cylinder, piston bore,

piston chamber, through the frame and up and over two pulley wheels mounted on the frame under the

seat, then to the opposite symetrical side of the frame through symetrical componets. Each loop is locked

in place with a resin that eliminates slipping or movement for rider safety. Each lever machine is further

secured in place with nuts and a threaded rod through the tube and "C" shaped componet around the

tubular potion of the lever machine. Within the frontal portion of the bicycle's frame is a lamp, that is

incased in an aluminum structure which focuses its light forwardly for night riding. Besides the LED lamp

device that can be incorporated in the frame of the High Torque Cruiser, other electronic devices can be

intergrated into the frame of the bicycle due to the frames wide diameter. The frame is wide enough to

include electronic devices such as an ipod, head lamp or touch screen computer which could illustrate

cardiovascular health and vital signs while exercising on the machine. This technology has a lot of

potential and like other bicycle technology, it continues to evolve. But most importantly the bicycle stands

out because of its unique structure and mechanical configuration.
