Abstract: A utility vehicle is disclosed having an electric drive. The drivetrain is comprised of batteries, a motor, a transaxle driven by the motor, a rear differential driven by the transaxle, and a prop shaft which is driven by the transaxle and drives a front differential. The batteries are provided in two groups and are supported on the frame of the vehicle. An on-board range extender is provided to charge the batteries and/or to provide power to the motor.

Abstract: A skid steered light all terrain vehicle (LATV), including two driving units for the wheels or tracks on both sides of the vehicle and a differential steering device with a differential gear. The differential steering device is designed to produce a defined differential speed of the two drive units of the vehicle related to the steering angle of the steering device regardless to the surface condition where the vehicle is driving. The LATV also includes an additional steering drive acting on the differential gear.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is provided for use on a recreational or utility vehicle. The CVT is electronically controlled by a control unit of the vehicle. The CVT includes a primary clutch having a first sheave and a second sheave moveable relative to the first sheave. An actuator may be positioned between the primary and secondary clutches.

Abstract: A skid steered all terrain vehicle (ATV), comprising two driving units for the wheels or tracks on both sides of the vehicle and a differential steering device with a differential gear, wherein the ATV is a light ATV (LATV) and wherein the differential steering device is designed to produce a defined differential speed of the two drive units of the vehicle related to the steering angle of the steering device regardless to the surface condition where the vehicle is driving, whereby an additional steering drive acts on the differential gear.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tracked ATV which is fully supported, driven and steered by a pair of parallel endless tracks driven by means of an internal combustion engine. Steering means are arranged to control the differential speed between the tracks for steering the vehicle. A handlebar is pivotally mounted to a vehicle body in front of a driver seat and the steering means are arranged to be operated by rotation of the handlebar. According to another aspect of the invention the driver seat is a straddle-type seat and footrests are arranged on the body to the left and to the right of this seat, which footrests are situated vertically in between an upper run and a ground engaging lower run of the tracks.
