Reverse drive for small vehicles

A reverse drive for small vehicles characterized in that an output shaft of a starter motor independently of a driving internal combustion engine can be coupled to a power transmission system leading from said internal combustion engine to a rear wheel in such a way that the rear wheel is driven in the reverse direction;

• in said starter motor and said power transmission system, a starter clutch for transmitting the power from the said starter motor to said internal combustion engine only in the starting direction and a reverse clutch for transmitting the power from said starter motor to said power transmission system only in the reverse direction in which said rear wheel is rotated in the reverse direction opposite to said starting direction are juxtaposed;
• and a switch for actuating and controlling said starter motor is disposed adjacent to a handle grip.

• in said starter motor and in said power transmission system, a starter clutch for transmitting the power from said starter motor to said internal combustion engine only in the starting direction and a reverse clutch for transmitting the power from said starter motor to said power transmission system only in the reverse direction in which said rear wheel is rotated in the reverse direction opposite to said starting direction are juxtaposed or incorporated;
• and either of said starting clutch or said reverse clutch comprises a one-way clutch whereby the power from said starter motor is used for starting the internal combustion engine or for reversing said rear wheel by changing rotational direction of said starter motor.

A reverse drive for small vehicles characterized in that an output shaft of a reversible starter motor independently of a driving internal combustion engine can be coupled to a power transmission system leading from said internal combustion engine to a rear wheel in such a way that the rear wheel is driven in the reverse direction;

• in said starter motor and said power transmission system, a starting clutch for transmitting the power from said starter motor to said internal combustion engine only in the starting direction and a reverse clutch for transmitting the power from said starter motor to said power transmission system only in the reverse direction in which said rear wheel is rotated in the reverse direction opposite to said starting direction are juxtaposed or incorporated;
• and there is provided a reduction gear for decreasing the rotational speed of said starter motor.
