Abstract: A vehicle with a pedal drive, such as a bicycle, tricycle or moped, includes a frame. A pedal drive is rotatably mounted on the frame and includes a driving gear. A wheel is rotatably mounted on the frame and a driven gear is jointly rotatable with the wheel and includes driven gear teeth. An endless toothed belt is trained about and interconnects the driving and driven gears and includes transmission gear teeth. The driven gear teeth of the driven gear are slightly reduced with respect to driven gear teeth which would correspond to the transmission gear teeth of the endless toothed belt.
