Re: Gearbox issues

In terms of acceleration: the system accelerates in proportion to the users kick. the motors are just assist motors to make you kick last longer. I have already figured out where I'm going to put the gearbox to gear the system down. the gearbox is going to fit inside the wheel. I can manage 2" of space for the diameter of the motor, and 3" of space for the length. But I can't manage any more space because I also need to fit control electronics, brakes, suspension, air cusion systems, etc...
Any ideas?
