Abstract

This paper describes the design analysis of the Elliptical bicycle. The main objective is to design the essential components of the Elliptical bicycle by exploiting the easily understandable mechanical engineering software. This Elliptical bicycle is innovative n creative idea, which is useful in fast growing world. Basically, bicycles are ride with the help of pedaling system. But, in this Elliptical bicycle, it gives a feel to walk on it due to the reason of replacing the pedaling arrangement with elliptical pedaling. After some initial start by pedaling on this, it feels like easy to walk. The main advantage of this elliptical bicycle is, we can travel from one place to another place and also total body gets exercised while moving on this bicycle. Generally this type of mechanism can be seen in gyms placed at fixed positions for exercise. But in this paper, the same mechanism for travelling purpose instead of normal bicycles is introduced. The procedures of pedaling and outlook of the cycle is totally different from the normal bicycle.
