A brake rotor speed reduction system is disclosed. The system includes a brake rotor having a rotor body and a ring gear of a planetary gear system. The system also includes a central axle, and a wheel plate coupled to a hub bearing, the hub bearing coupled to the axle and including a solar gear of the planetary gear system. The system also includes a plurality of planet gears, each planet gear rotatably coupled to a different gear shaft of a plurality of gear shafts and engaged with both the ring and solar gears. Rotation of the solar gear in a first direction drives the rotation of each planet gear about the gear shaft to which it is coupled in a second direction, in turn driving the ring gear to rotate in the first direction and causing the brake rotor to rotate slower than the wheel plate.
