A drive train, which is designed for a continuously variable transmission ratio between a pedal crankshaft (10) and a driven shaft (12), includes three planetary gear sets (20, 30, 40). A first motor shaft (W1) is permanently connected to a first sun gear (22) for conjoint rotation. A first planet carrier (24) is permanently connected to a second ring gear (36) for conjoint rotation. The first planet carrier (24) is connectable to a third sun gear (42) for conjoint rotation. A first ring gear (26) is permanently connected to a second sun gear (32) for conjoint rotation. A third planet carrier (44) is connectable to the pedal crankshaft (10) for conjoint rotation. A third ring gear (46) is connectable to the driven shaft (12) for conjoint rotation. The second planetary gear set (30) is nested radially outwards with the first planetary gear set (20).
