The conventional bicycle employs the chain drive to transmit power from pedal to rear wheel and it requires accurate mounting and alignment for proper working. This paper focuses on the design of a chainless drive mechanism by using lever principle for the bicycle. This mechanism also seeks the usage of gravitational effect while pedaling because of the oscillatory pedaling instead of rotary. Using the mechanical advantage of lever principle we tried to decrease the effort which should require propelling a bicycle. This drive mechanism consists of majorly 3 components: bell crank lever, link, and drive wheel. The theoretical values of forces and all are calculated initially and after that, the three components are modeled in design software SOLID WORKS and analyzed further and the results were compared. The results obtained are optimized with this new mechanism.
