Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020015852A1] In order to form a largely oval circulatory path, in particular a pedal (1a), a crank drive (1) is described which periodically changes the effective lever length of a crank (2). In this case, gear levers (4' or 7) are mounted on a crank (2) at both ends (2 a, 2b) which rotate in opposite directions with respect to one another and thus form two further movement axes within the pedal path and are thus adapted to the natural human leg movement in a force-saving and ergonomic manner.
