That's exactly what I'm doing, I already ran a test of a SWXU on a 700cc wheel at 24V and it could have very low rpm. The wheels on the wheelchair will be 24"

Thanks! I completely agree with you, I have tried going up a steep incline in a manual wheelchair and it is very hard work. I understand that two motors would be considered overkill but I would be using them at the lower end of their capacity. It is just the cheapest, lightest and most readily...

Thanks for the source. The xtender wheelchair shown in the picture actually has a geared drive as well, and I agree a direct drive is optimal but unfortunately weight is a factor. The SWXU is under 2 kgs whereas the DD golden motors are around 4.5 kgs. Also not having resistance to the user...

I was thinking something more along these lines (and which can still fit in a house, train, office building, etc.)

Not a silly question at all. Yes I do, but for my particular application I want to have a drive motor in each wheel and because I want the wiring facing inwards that means that one effectively is in the reverse direction of the other. It is fine to reverse the phases for the DC motor but the...

Have already done so, just waiting on him!

I have been searching for a freewheel for an 8fun/Befang SWXU front hub motor which spins in the opposite direction to normal (anti-clockwise instead of clockwise) and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get one? It is so that I can mount two motors on a cart and have them freewheel in...
