Abstract:
1. A lever propelled bicycle, having a frame supported by a front wheel and rear wheel, said rear wheel having a rear wheel axle, wherein said frame extends beyond said rear wheel axle, wherein the improvement comprises: A right and left propulsion lever for lever pedaling said bicycle, each said lever pivotally connected to a left side and a right side of said frame, wherein each lever is configured in an approximate “L” shape, wherein a shorter side of each said “L” shape lever comprises a vertical portion positioned in an approximate vertical position, wherein a fulcrum of each said lever is at an end portion of each said shorter side of said levers, opposite from a corner of each “L” shape lever, wherein each said end portion is pivotally connected to said frame, wherein said shorter side of each said lever reciprocally swine behind said rear wheel axle of the rear wheel, while having separate loads firstly connected to the vertical portion of each lever, wherein each load consist of a separate linear transmission means, that are secondly directly connected to a hub assembly of the rear wheel, while the hub assembly consist of two radial members on opposite sides of the rear wheel's hub assembly, with the ability of said radial members to rotate freely from the hub rigidly attached to the rear wheel when rotated backwards to enable engagement with said radial member to be repositioned away from said radial members for forward engagement and operatively couple with the rear wheel hub assembly when rotated forward to move and propel the bicycle forward when said separate linear transmission means mesh and pull an outer surface of separate radial members in a rotational motion, while the separate linear transmission means are being pulled reciprocally in a rearward arc motion by each said approximate vertical portion of said levers.
