Abstract:
A drive assembly for a kart, and a kart including the assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes an electric motor including an output shaft; an assembly housing surrounding the motor, the housing defining an aperture; an intermediate shaft rotatably disposed within the assembly housing; a driving gear removably disposed on the output shaft within the housing; a reduction gear removably disposed on the intermediate shaft within the housing; and a panel removably connected to the housing for selectively covering the aperture, the driving gear and the reduction gear being removable from the motor and the housing via the aperture when the panel is removed from the housing, the panel, the driving gear, and the reduction gear being disposed above a maximum level of transmission oil contained within the housing when the motor is not operating. A method of changing a kart transmission ratio is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of changing transmission ratio for a kart powered by an electric motor, comprising:\n removing a panel from a housing at least partially surrounding the electric motor, the panel selectively covering an aperture defined by the housing, the aperture and the panel being disposed above a maximum level of transmission oil contained within the assembly housing when the motor is not operating, the panel being removable from the housing without removal of any one of a wheel of the kart and a shaft of the motor, the panel being removable without lifting the kart to prevent spilling of the transmission oil from within the assembly housing; releasing and removing a driving gear from an output shaft of the electric motor; releasing and removing a reduction gear from an intermediate shaft; connecting a replacement driving gear to the output shaft; connecting a replacement reduction gear to the intermediate shaft; and reconnecting the panel to the housing, a gear ratio of the driving gear to the reduction gear being different from a gear ratio of the replacement driving gear to the replacement reduction gear.
