Abstract: A rear wheel control unit for a two-wheeled vehicle with universal drive mechanism, such as a motorcycle, is disclosed. The rear wheel control unit comprises an axle housing for accommodating a drive unit of the universal drive mechanism of the two-wheeled vehicle in operative connection with the rear wheel of the vehicle. The axle housing has a connecting member for accommodating a shaft of the universal drive mechanism and is pivotably mounted to the frame of the two-wheeled vehicle by first and second wheel control arms arranged in a four-bar linkage. The first wheel control arm is formed as a one-armed oscillating lever articulated on the wheel side with the connecting member of the axle housing. The second wheel control arm serves as a moment support member.
