Abstract
A wheeled vehicle is disclosed. The wheel of the vehicle may be a powered wheeled vehicle with an engine and a transmission system. The transmission system may be used to select a gear ratio to a powered wheel of the wheeled vehicle, such as a single wheel.
Claims20
A wheeled vehicle, comprising:
- an engine;
- a transmission having a transmission housing coupled to the engine and configured to allow transfer of power from the engine to a drive wheel;
- a plurality of gears housed within the transmission housing to allow for a changing of an input speed from the engine and an output speed to the drive wheel;
- an automatic shifting mechanism configured to selectively change a connection between an input shaft and an output shaft by changing between at least a first gear of the plurality of gears and a second gear of the plurality of gears;
- and
- a user input system configured to select a drive selection from a user;
- wherein the automatic shifting mechanism is mounted to the transmission housing.
