Flap arrangement with a flap for a motor vehicle

A flap arrangement for use in a motor vehicle provided with a body and a flap pivotable about a geometrical flap pivot axis between an open position and a closed position over a pivot angle (α), the flap arrangement comprising:

• a drive arrangement configured to adjust the flap, and including an electrical motor, configured to generate and transmit driving forces to adjust the flap;
• and
• a drivetrain disposed between the motor and the flap or between motor and the body of the motor vehicle and configured to transmit the driving forces, wherein the drivetrain includes,
• a freewheel mechanism provided with a driveshaft, a force transmitting element, and a driven component provided with a force receiving element coupled to a respective transmitting element, wherein
• during a motorized movement of the flap between the closed position and the open position over at least a portion of the pivot angle (α), the motor rotates the drive component and displaces the transmitting element, from a neutral position, and displaces the receiving element along a displacement path,
• after the motorized movement of the flap, the transmitting element is configured to be displaced back to the neutral position independent of a position of the flap,
• wherein in response to the transmitting element being in the neutral position and a manual movement of the flap between the closed position and the open position over at least part of the pivot angle (α), the flap rotates the driven component to displace the receiving element along the displacement path towards the neutral position without engaging the transmitting element.
