Awesome! Your mission statement couldn't have been put any better. As far as axle placement: It needs to be as compact as possible, yet the cog can't be behind the axle(making it tippy) so a lil trial and error may be in order to make it as small as possible yet stable. PM me if you need anything, I am your sounding board!

Looks good. My only concern is the size of the casters your using up front may be a bit to small and may catch to easily on things, castors are a but expensive, but they are cheaper than a faceplant

That all depends on wheater you are the one riding in the chair or you are watching. Plus it depends on whether you are close to the person it happens to. I can see the video showing up on youtube.

Sorry about that. Somtimes my funny bone just gets the best of me. I am not trying to make fun of anyone, but even some guys in wheelchairs have a sense of humor. BUT have you not seen those videos of the wheelchair dudes doing stunts and tricks at the skateboard parks? They are even crasier then we are. All in good fun guys.
