ABSTRACT:
A power unit particularly adapted to a three-wheel vehicle which employs a single cylinder, two-stroke engine driving a centrifugal clutch, a gear train and a drive shaft to one wheel. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted in a portion of the engine housing and is also rotatably mounted within a coaxial bore through one end of the crankshaft. A spaced rear wheel on the other side of the engine is freewheeling. To accommodate the asymmetric power to one rear wheel, the drive shaft, the crankshaft and the engine cylinder are canted from alignment with the centerline of the vehicle to provide the appropriate toe-in.
