Extreme labor-saving bicycle, comprising a front wheel assembly, a rear wheel assembly, a handle, a pedal, a frame, a connecting rod, a swinging rod, a seat and a transmission mechanism for transferring force of the swinging rod to the rear wheel assembly, wherein, the front wheel assembly and the rear wheel assembly are mounted at front end and rear end of the frame, the pedal is rotatably mounted at lower end of the middle of the frame, the swinging rod and the pedal are hinged to two ends of the connecting rod, the seat is fixed at a hinging end of the connecting rod and the swinging rod, and one end of the swinging rod away from the seat, is hinged to=front end of the frame and=connected with the rear wheel assembly through the transmission mechanism.

An auxiliary bicycle transmission for a bicycle has a crossbar formed by a telescoping bar slidably mounted in an outer channel member. One end of a half chain or half V-belt is connected to the telescoping bar, the other end is connected by means of a spring to the upper end of a down tube, and the chain or V-belt that engages a freewheeling sprocket or pulley so that when the telescoping bar extends out of the outer channel member against the spring force, the freewheeling sprocket rotates and provides additional motive force to the standard transmission of the bicycle.

A ride-along vehicle may include both handles and foot rests each capable of providing power to the pump arm. An improved pumper arm and steering mechanism may include a pivot joint that is provided by rods, pins, or bolts attached to opposite sides of the pumper arm. The universal joint between the steering arm and the pumper arm can be aligned with the center of the pivot point to prevent rocking of the steering arm as the pumper arm is actuated.

A rider-propelled vehicle comprising a rear wheel assembly, a front wheel assembly, a dual drive and steering assembly, and a drive train. The rear wheel assembly and the front wheel assembly include 24 inch (ISO 507 mm) or larger wheels. Pedals of the dual drive and steering assembly extend laterally exterior from drive links of the dual drive and steering assembly so that feet of the rider straddle the left and right drive link. A steering train of the dual drive and steering assembly is configured so that the front wheel assembly turns entirely forward of the range of motion of left and right handlebar assemblies of the dual drive and steering assembly.

A dual powered propulsion system for use with a human powered vehicle is provided. The system includes a connecting rod with a front end operatively coupled to yoke-connected forearm bars. The system also includes a splitter coupled to a rear end of the connecting rod, wherein the splitter is coupled to a first rack and a second rack that operate with a first and second pinion gear to turn a crank axle. This system supplies rotational power to the crank axle in a single rotational direction as the connecting rod is oscillated up and down and back and forth. Even though a solid connecting rod is used to transfer power from the oscillating forearm bars to the crank axle, the vehicle is steerable to the right or left as a result of the use of a carriage, on rollers, and a turning track operatively connected to the forearm bars.
