Actually, all four are involved in how fast your chair will go.
Bigger motors give you more power and generally more speed. The
gearbox can be designed to give you more or less speed. The wheels
also are involved in speed the bigger the wheel the faster you will
go. The controller is what tells the batteries how much power to give
the motors. So, if you have; big strong motors, and a gearbox built
for speed, and wheels large enough, you will go fast. The controller
is how you adjust the speed given the size of your motors, gearbox
and wheels. Does that make sense?

Hello friends,
Good day.
I have a question for the power chair geeks.
What contributes the power of a power wheelchair, I mean the speed ?
Is it the motor, gearbox, controller or wheels ?
Thanks in advance :-)
Please take care :-)
Yours,
