a chain it uses elastic strings that wind and unwind around pulleys as you pedal these strings operate more quietly and won't leave grease stains on your clothes like a chain wood this Innovative design features Freewheel mechanisms on each side of the rear wheel connected to a polyethylene rope this rope attaches to a precisely positioned symmetrical swinging arm that propels the bike forward the system works by allowing one unit to drive the bike forward while the other unit returns to its starting position resulting in Greater efficiency and a smoother more comfortable ride the idea for the string bike originated from a post-graduate challenge at Budapest Technical University in the early 1990s a team proposed a chainless system using free wheels and a sophisticated wired pulley mechanism to improve impr efficiency over the traditional chain and gear system which typically drives the bike from just one side it offers 19 speeds that can be easily switched on the- go similar to
