ABSTRACT:
A pedal shaft and a rear wheel shaft spaced apart from said pedal shaft are rotatably mounted in a supporting structure. An overrunning clutch is engageable to transmit torque to said rear wheel shaft from a chain drive, which is operatively connected to said pedal shaft. A motor is carried by said support and has a motor shaft, which is connected by a self-adjusting cone drive to said rear wheel shaft. An arbitrarily engageable one-way starting clutch is operatively connected on one side to said pedal shaft independently of said rear wheel shaft and on the other side is operatively connected to said motor shaft. Engagement of the overrunning clutch is controllable.
