A crank system of the present disclosure has a rotating bar that is fixedly coupled to a first end of a first axle and for actuating a wheel, a first crank assembly coupled to the first end of the first axle and coupled to a first pedal, and a second crank assembly coupled to a second end of the first axle and a second pedal. The first crank assembly and the second crank assembly are coupled to the first axle such that the rotating bar is aligned with a wheel gear assembly adapted for rotating the wheel when the first pedal and second pedal are at their zenith and nadir positions, alternatively.
