Abstract
A drive includes at least one motor with a drive shaft and at least one output shaft which is in particular mechanically connected to a gear. The drive shaft and the output shaft are aligned substantially axially. The drive shaft and the output shaft each have a coupling portion through which a torque can be transmitted from the drive shaft to the output shaft by mechanical coupling. Each coupling portion is connected to the shaft thereof for rotation therewith and the coupling portions can be mechanically coupled by being axially plugged together.
