The disadvantage of all this is a fixed top speed governed by your gearing. A TEFTEC is the only kind I've heard of in recent years where this can be changed, but it's not exactly convenient to change back and forth. That's why I want the gearshift -- there are times I need a lot of torque, and others where I need more speed than anything.
Ah... I can certainly see why a tranny is desirable. Do you have access to a machinist?
So... my only choice is basically to try to build my own, if I can manage it.
A good friend of mine has an MS type disease and I volunteered to build an electric chair for her when the time came. She still has use of her arms and isn't ready for one yet but I have thought A LITTLE BIT about it. But not much as it's pretty far (we hope) in the future.
