Abstract: A lever propelled wheelchair, the lever having two push levers attached to two front drive sprockets. The two levers propel the two main rear wheels of the wheelchairs through chains connecting the front sprockets to gear clusters mounted on the rear axles. Ratchet mechanisms allow each push lever to transmit power to the drive sprockets in either a forward or reverse direction. Derailers are mounted at each axle and are activated by a shifter mechanism mounted on the push levers. Brakes are mounted on the frame beside each wheel and activated by a hand break lever mounted on the push levers.
