2011 Design completed

In late December the revised Pedalong design was delivered to manufacturers of prototypes in Chicago and Zakopane, Poland. www.rapidmachining.biz is the website for the Chicago manufacturer and www.karpiel.com is the website for the Polish manufacturer.

This design features smooth pedal set extension-retraction and a clutch for disengaging the drive when required. Economics in manufacture has been attempted through use of many off-the-shelf bicycle and industrial parts.
