2. Axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

   Some simple vehicle designs, such as leisure go-karts, may have a single driven wheel where the drive axle is a split axle with only one of the two shafts driven by the engine, or else have both wheels connected to one shaft without a differential (kart racing). However, other go-karts have two rear drive wheels too.

3. Locking hubs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_hubs

   Locking hubs, also known as free wheeling hubs are fitted to some (mainly older) four-wheel drive vehicles, allowing the front wheels to rotate freely when disconnected (unlocked) from the front axle. This is done to reduce the mechanical resistance of the front-portion of the drivetrain when four-wheel drive is not in use. [1]

4. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

   This is easily accommodated when the wheels are not connected, however it becomes more difficult for the drive wheels, since both wheels are connected to the engine (usually via a transmission). Some vehicles (for example go-karts and trams) use axles without a differential, thus relying on wheel slip when cornering. However, for improved ...

5. Nash Motors - Wikipedia

   The Quad used Mehul differentials [6] with half-shafts mounted above the load-bearing dead axles to drive the hubs through hub-reduction gearing. [7] In addition, it featured four-wheel steering. [8] The Quad achieved the reputation of being the best four-wheel drive truck produced in the country. [9]

6. Dual-motor, four-wheel-drive layout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-motor,_four-wheel...

   The use of separate motors for the front and rear drive wheels eliminates the need of a drive shaft that is ubiquitous in four-wheel drive ICE vehicles, freeing up space for bigger battery modules, which are commonly mounted on the chassis floor between the axles. [1]

7. All-wheel drive vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-wheel_drive_vehicle

   The most common forms of all-wheel drive are: 1x1 All unicycles Reflects one axle with one wheel capable of being powered. 2x2 Some motorcycles and bikes Reflects two axles with one wheel on each capable of being powered. 4×4 (also, four-wheel drive or 4WD) Reflects two axles with both wheels on each capable of being powered.
