This project, to my knowledge, is the first and only design for a rear entry wheelchair. The R.E.W enables its user to transfer to any desired seat and back with minimum effort or risk. It’s equipped with two low RPM high torque motors at the front for height adjustment and uses a revers manual wheelchair propulsion do to the wheels location
Unlike the normal flywheel, this model is designed to stay in constant contact with the rider. The advantage here is that with the help of its adjustable shape that changes according to the speed of rotation or the speed of travel, the wheel picks up a higher acceleration in relation to its weight and loses its effect during the deceleration process due to the change in configuration that reduces its radius, thus making it easier to stop as well as starting to drive.
I designed and constructed a double frame to fit the flywheel “needs” and give s sense of salty to the driver.
