Research on an Orbital Elliptical Bike (Streetstrider)

Semester Three project:

You are required to design an Orbital elliptical bike as your workshop assignment for this semester and continue updating and remodeling the same project throughout semester four so carefully select your group of three or four students and make sure that you must keep the same group next semester.

5. Create detailed drawing of the assembly.

For you to gain competency:

1. The bike should work.
2. Operation should be safe, ergonomic and efficient.
