A transmission for a system, in which a directed force is introduced eccentrically with respect to a main shaft of the transmission, comprising the main shaft which is rotatably mounted in relation to a stationary housing by a main shaft bearing, a sun gear which is fixedly connected to the housing being arranged concentrically around the main shaft, and at least one control housing that rotates around the housing, wherein the first section thereof acts on the main shaft in a rotationally fixed manner and a planetary wheel is rotatably mounted by a first rotary bearing on the second section thereof, said planetary gear meshing with the sun gear. According to the invention, a force transmission means is fastened to the control housing and a drive crank rigidly engages the first end on the planetary wheel, wherein a second end of the drive crank is mounted in an articulated manner on a crank arm, said crank arm being supported in relation to the control housing by a movable coupling means. The aim of the invention was to provide a transmission having structural dimensions which are as compact as possible in the axial direction of the main shaft. Said aim is achieved in that the movable coupling means is a linear guide which absorbs tilting torques transmitted by the crank arm.

The present invention relates to a bicycle driving device having increased torque, the device moving, to the front thereof, the center of a rotational track in a state in which an overall pedaling track (distance) does not increase, thereby removing the top dead center and enabling force to be strongly transmitted to a crankshaft during pedaling. According to the present invention, a rotational track of a pedal is moved to the front thereof such that when the pedal is in a forward position, the pedal is separated far away from the crankshaft so as to enable a strong force to be transmitted to the crankshaft by using the principle of the lever, and thus rotational torque can be increased.
