Kb. Sheu et al., CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF HYBRID TRANSMISSIONS FOR MOTORCYCLE APPLICATIONS, International journal of vehicle design, 17(4), 1996, pp. 430-448
The procedure of conceptual design of hybrid transmissions for motorcy
cle applications is described in this paper. The topological structure
s of hybrid transmissions are created on the basis of the v-belt drive
continuously variable unit and simple differential gears. Four design
concepts of hybrid transmission systems are synthesized. A design exa
mple is provided to prove the feasibility of the proposed concept.
