Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0786277A1] Retaining the same electric propulsion micromotor (6), and retaining the conventional rear-wheel drive, that is to say the axle (2) as live axle, they consist in displacing the said electric micromotor (6) towards the forward end of the chassis (1), locating it immediately behind the guide mechanism (8), specifically between the front wheels (7) of the car, for which purpose the output shaft (15) of the micromotor (6) is coupled to an extender rod (14) which via its back and free end terminates in the corresponding driving pinion (5) for the crown wheel (4) of the live axle. This entails a substantial forward shift of the centre of gravity of the car, which improves the stability of the guide mechanism (8) on the corresponding groove of the track. <IMAGE>
