1. Introducing Stringbike
What is Stringbike? Stringbike is a bike with no chain or chainless. This is a new technological design of Hungarian bicycle. It was designed by Hungarian designers and was invented by [|Schwinn-Csepel zrt] company in 2006. The new design replaces the traditional chain with a symmetrical steel wire and pulley system, which is more efficient and more comfortable. Also, it's very popular in Hungary, and people are really excited and interested in this innovative bicycle.

This new system is more complex than a chain because it consists of a rope and pulley on each side of the bike. when we rotate the pedals, it forces arms at each side to swing forward and backward on its shaft. When moving forward, the arm pulls the driving rope and forces the wheel to rotate. The arms at each side alternate so that when one is moving forward the other is moving backward. See the video below.

The new system has 19 "gear" positions. You can change the gear at any time by just turning a shifting knob on the right handle grip. when you adjust the gear, the pulley shaft will move up and down along a traction path on an ecc﻿entric disc which has 19 notches to adjust. Yo u adjust the gear in order to control your speed and low and high gears. The gears can be changed even if the bicycle doesn't move.

This video shows you how the gear changes when you adjust it.
