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 8):
A kart, comprising:\n a frame; a seat connected to the frame; a drive assembly connecting to the frame, the drive assembly comprising:\n an electric motor including an output shaft, the electric motor being connected to the frame behind the seat; \n an assembly housing at least partially surrounding the electric motor, the assembly housing defining an aperture; \n an intermediate shaft rotatably disposed within the assembly housing; \n a driving gear disposed on the output shaft within the assembly housing; \n a reduction gear disposed on the intermediate shaft within the assembly housing, the reduction gear being driven by to the driving gear; and \n a panel removably connected to the assembly housing for selectively covering the aperture, \n the panel, the driving gear, and the reduction gear being disposed above a maximum level of transmission oil contained within the assembly housing when the motor is not operating; \n the driving gear and the reduction gear being removable from the motor and the assembly housing via the aperture when the panel is removed from the assembly housing; \n a rear wheel drive shaft operatively connected to the intermediate shaft; a rear axle operatively connected to the rear wheel drive shaft; a pair of rear wheels connected to the rear axle; a front axle rotatably connected to the frame; and a pair of front wheels connected to the front axle.
