Two elongated foot platforms on either side of the lower frame are attached to [[crank (mechanism)\|cranks]] as part of the drive assembly, which, as with [[bicycle drivetrain systems]], also includes a hub, a rotating axle, and an internal [[hub gear]] system translating the axle rotation to the hub. The StreetStrider drive assembly is either chained or chainless direct drive, depending on model. The lower end of each arm lever is attached to the front end of each foot platform, which, by connection in the rear to the rotating crank arm and in the front to the pivoting arm lever, moves generally in an elliptical path. The device also includes a leaning mechanism for steering, as well as brakes and multiple gearing. It was developed by David W.
