How, on electric stair climbing wheelchairs like the SCEWO wheelchair, is the power directed from the main wheel to the tracks?

Hi Abel,
Well, the tracks are actually always turning, driven by a chain, but when approaching steps, the wheelchair user presses a button to lower the tracked wheels, which then take over until up or down the steps.
