You said it was a dead axle, but that's a live axle. You are driving the axle with the chain.
You are gearing the motor speed down with the gearbox, and then gearing it back up with the sprockets. Generally speaking, you want to avoid doing that if possible.
I don't see a good place to mount the encoder without making changes/additions to the design.
Perhaps you could drill a hole and tap threads into the end of each wheel axle and make an adaptor for the encoder disk.
