A variable gear ratio gear set system includes a planetary gear set (24) including a sun gear (28) locate at a central axis of rotation, a plurality of planet gears (32) meshed with the sun gear and retained at a carrier (34), and a ring gear (38) surrounding the plurality of planet gears and meshed therewith. An input shaft (22) inputs rotational energy to the planetary gear set at a first rotational speed, and an output shaft (26) outputs rotational energy from the planetary gear set at a second rotational speed. A plurality of one-way clutches (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d) are positioned in the gear set and are engageable such that the system has a first gear ratio when the input shaft is rotated in a first direction, and a second gear ratio when the input shaft is rotated in a second direction.
