The motors are equipped with right angle drives...the gear boxes have helical gear sets. The motors are a standard 24v wheelchair motor. We are using two 12v SLAs to provide the 24 volts required by the motors. Battery life is surprisingly good for a four wheel drive wheelchair.

We are currently at MIT as part of a two day exhibition by the Lemelson MIT InvenTeams. When we return from MIT we will be posting pictures, video and detailed specs for the Jester drive wheelchair.
