Drive assembly

摘要

A drive assembly is provided which is especially suitable for use on a golf buggy or other vehicle adapted to be pushed or pulled by an operator in either a forward or a reverse direction. The drive assembly includes a wheel mounted for rotation about an axle, an electromagnetic drive assembly adapted to rotate the wheel about the axle, and a controller responsive to the operator initially moving the vehicle either in a forward or reverse direction to actuate the electromagnetic drive assembly to continue to drive the wheel in the selected direction.
