Disclosed is a continuous variable transmission drive system for providing automatic continuously variable transmission for driving wheels of a vehicle. The vehicle includes wheels and either pedals or a motor. The continuous variable transmission drive system includes a drive shaft, a drive wheel, a drive disk, a sensor, a jack mechanism and a transmission unit. The drive shaft having a first end to receive a rotational force and a second end is connected to the drive wheel and moves along the drive shaft. The drive disk receives the power of the drive shaft from the drive wheel. The sensor for measuring compression force between the drive disk and the drive wheel. The jack mechanism applies variable compression force to control friction between the drive disk and the drive wheel. The transmission unit moves the drive wheel along the drive shaft, and changes ratio of angular velocity between the drive wheel and the drive disk to provide continuously variable transmission.
