A stealthy wheelchair pusher unit that uses a geared hub motor mounted with battlebot omniwheels. Using a fast wind Bafang G01 and a 48v battery top speed is a bit over 20kph. A Cycle Analyst keeps the power controllable allowing the user to creep across the room holding a cup of coffee as well as keeping pace with others on bicycles. A thumb throttle is mounted on the wheelchair frame next to a disc brake lever (Individual disc braking provides steering by 'drag' braking). The unit has pushed me over 5,000 miles so far.
