Crankless Bike
A custom-made bike that allows for easy commute without putting strain on the client's back or leg.
The Need
The vast majority of commercially available bicycles are not designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types. Available models are generally uncomfortable, incapable of supporting large frames, and are difficult to balance on uneven terrains. Our client is in need of a folding bike capable of supporting up to 300 pounds, altered with comfortable sizing, large and balanced wheels, and storage components that will allow him to get around campus.
The Solution
Our product will be a highly modified folding bike catered to the client's needs. The pedals and chains will be removed, the bike seat will be replaced by one with a larger backrest, and larger adult training wheels will be added. These modifications will make the bike more comfortable and balanced for the client, allowing him to traverse uneven terrains around Northeastern's campus. The bike will also be fitted with additional features such as a basket and cane holder for convenience, and will be based off a foldable model if possible to make it portable and lightweight.
