I preferred the bicycle but the other way to make cranking one of these easier would be to modify the handle so its much longer. Instead of a foot long handle, make it three foot long. Like putting a pipe on the end of a wrench to loosen a stubborn bolt. I'd rather pedal a bike and use different sprocket diameters than hand crank a very long handle but each to their own. Its all about leverage. And the more leverage needed, the slower the job gets done, but the easier it is to do the job.
