A question: Why do you have the second set of motors to drive the front wheel? Why not just have the rear wheel chained to the front wheel?

Also, it appears there is a sprocket reduction between the front set of planetaries and the front wheels. Is this done on the back wheels as well?

Good luck!
1. Better control.
2. We have a 1:1 reduction between the chain and the front drive wheels. The back wheels are direct drive.
