Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for suspending a rear-mounted drivetrain assembly in a chassis of an off-road vehicle. The apparatus includes one or more front mounts for coupling a frontmost portion of the drivetrain assembly to the chassis. The front mounts suspend the frontmost portion from a seat crossmember comprising the chassis. A rearmost portion of the drivetrain assembly is suspended from a rear portion of the chassis by way of a hanger. The hanger is coupled with the rear portion of the chassis by way of one or more mounts disposed on a pair of lower rear stays comprising the chassis. Experimentation has demonstrated that suspending the drivetrain assembly within the rear portion of the chassis prevents impacts on the bottom of the chassis from affecting drivetrain alignment.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a first vehicle part including a first running wheel rotatable about a first axis of rotation and a second vehicle part including a second running wheel rotatable about a second axis of rotation. The first and second running wheels have the same running-wheel diameter. A first and second bearing means for rotatably mounting the first and second running wheels are interconnected by means of a joint mechanism so that the orientation of the first and second axes of rotation relative to each other can be varied. By means of the joint mechanism, the vehicle can be transferred from a first driving configuration to a second driving configuration and from the second driving configuration to the first driving configuration while the vehicle is in motion. The conversion between the first and second driving configurations takes place automatically as a function of a driving speed of the vehicle.
