Wheelchair Hub Gearbox

A planetary gearbox mounted inside the hub of a wheelchair wheel. The axle passed through the center of hub. Converted a single speed manual gearbox into a 2 speed wheelchair. A second handrail was connected to the center gear thereby stepping up torque. This second hand rail was used for inclines. The whole gearbox was less than 2 inches in thickness.
