DEFINITION
Classification: 180/297
Having motor shaft parallel to rotational axis of driven wheel:
(under subclass 291) Vehicle wherein the component of the motor which delivers the power developed therein (e.g., the crank-shaft) lies on a line which is parallel to a line about which one or more driven wheels rotate in order to propel the vehicle.
(1) Note. In the event that the vehicle has motors of both a prime mover type and a traction kind, the shaft with which this subclass is concerned is that of the traction motor.
