A gear box (12) and motor mount assembly (16) for non-rotatably holding an electric motor (50) for driving a gear train (17) in a children's riding vehicle includes an enclosure (18) having two halves shaped to non-rotatably hold the motor (50) therein, and a boss in the vehicle's gear box (12) to non-rotatably receive the enclosure (18) so that the motor (50), and more specifically a pinion (64) thereon may drive the gear train (17). In the preferred embodiment, the halves are hingedly joined and define a clam shell-like enclosure (18), and the boss on the gear box (12) is generally cylindrical and includes a cavity (20) for receiving the enclosure (18). Key structure (94) on the enclosure (18), and a complementary formed slot (98) adjacent the cavity in the boss for receiving the key structure (94) ensures that the enclosure is non-rotatably secured in the boss for driving the gear train (17).
