In 1879, Milton Reeves invented a CVT (then called a variable-speed transmission) for use in sawmilling. In 1896, Reeves began fitting this transmission to his cars, [31] and the Reeves CVT was also used by several other manufacturers. The 1911 Zenith Gradua 6HP motorcycle used a pulley-based Gradua CVT.

A motorcycle transmission is a transmission created specifically for motorcycle applications. They may also be found in use on other light vehicles such as motor tricycles and quadbikes , go-karts , offroad buggies, auto rickshaws , mowers, and other utility vehicles, microcars , and even some superlight racing cars.
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) can change seamlessly through a continuous range of gear ratios. This contrasts with other transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps. The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the engine to operate at a constant RPM while the vehicle moves at varying speeds.
The NuVinci CVT system has a small number of parts. [5] [6] Most CVTs have lower mechanical efficiency than competitive conventional transmissions.Since any CVT may allow a power plant, human or motorized, to operate at (or closer to) its speed of optimal efficiency, output torque or output power, the NuVinci CVT may improve a system's overall efficiency or performance compared to a ...
The first mass-produced fully-automatic transmission developed for passenger automobile use was the GM Hydramatic introduced in 1940. [1] The Hydramatic was a big success, and had been installed in the majority of GM models by 1950. Throughout the 1950s, all GM Marques continued developing automatic transmission designs, both jointly and ...
The Aprilia Mana 850 is an automatic transmission motorcycle made by Aprilia from 2007 to 2016. The Mana has an 839.3 cc (51.22 cu in) 90° V-twin engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The transmission has three mode settings: Sport, Touring, and Rain.
Variomatic is the continuously variable transmission (CVT) of the Dutch car manufacturer DAF, originally developed by Hub van Doorne. [1] It is a stepless, fully- automatic transmission , consisting of a V-shaped drive-belt, and two pulleys , each of two cones, whose effective diameter can be changed so that the "V" belt runs nearer the spindle ...
