I sort of remember that. Did it have something to engage the large spoke structure to turn it?

I don't know if this is correct but don't they make these things so when you lock a wheel (such as against an obstacle like a stair) the torque isn't used by the small wheels so the whole thing is forced to turn? I don't really know how they do all the chain hookups and stuff since I haven't really studied these things much.
