  • Motorcycle with an electrically driveable front wheel
    Patent number: 10752122
    Abstract: A vehicle with a front wheel and a front wheel of a vehicle is provided. The front wheel is drivable by a first drive arrangement, and a rear wheel of the vehicle is drivable by a second drive arrangement. The first drive arrangement may be integrated into the front wheel, and includes an electric motor for selectively rotatably driving the front wheel, a reduction gear between the electric motor and the front wheel, and an actuable coupling for selectively coupling or decoupling the electric motor to the reduction gear.

  • DRIVE TRAIN WITH A FIRST ELECTRIC MOTOR AND A PLANETARY GEAR MECHANISM AS WELL AS WIND ENERGY PLANTS, GAS TURBINES AND WATER TURBINES AND VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS DRIVE TRAIN
    Publication number: 20110256973
    Abstract: A drive train, wherein the drive train has a first electric machine (EMI) which can be operated in a motor or generator operating state, and a planetary gear mechanism (100) having a rotational-speed changing apparatus, wherein the rotational-speed changing apparatus is configured, in particular, as an internal gear (110) and/or as a planetary gear (114) and/or as a sun gear (112), wherein the planetary gear mechanism (100) has a drive side and a driven side, characterized in that the first electric machine (EMI) engages into the rotational-speed changing apparatus in a controlling manner in the motor or generator operating state, with the result that a step-up transmission ratio is formed in the planetary gear mechanism (100).
