The
Step 'n Go is propelled by the rider standing on two treadles with flat
non-slip 'stepper pads'. The two treadles are connected; as the rider
steps with one leg the other treadle automatically comes up, placing the
opposing leg in the power stroke position. This allows riders who have
difficulty lifting their legs to propel the Step 'n Go. This reciprocal
motion is more natural - similar to walking - than the 'round and 'round
cranking motion of the pedals of a typical bicycle.
Riders
operate the Step 'n Go with a stepping action, or by shifting their weight
from side to side. The patented treadle transmission automatically
responds to the rider's natural range of motion allowing short, long or
uneven strokes. This flexible action makes it usable by a wide variety of
riders. For those who have very limited leg strength, we offer special low
gear ratios, which make it easier to propel the cycle and experience the
thrill of forward motion with minimal input.
The
Step 'n Go can be operated at a range of speeds, from very slow - barely
moving along - to speeds fast enough to excite the adventurous rider. This
makes it suitable for the cautious new rider, in controlled settings, as
well as fun for the more skilled.
All of these features add up to a biking experience that is enjoyable and
accessible. |
