The drive shaft twirl a planetary gear system, which drives a pair of rubber belts that transfer power to the transmission, which is mounted on the front fork. The transmission generates electricity for the motor, with gear ratios achieved by coil windings. The drive shifts gears by switching the sockets into which the windings are plugged: This technology is called socket activation. The transmission drives the chain, which drives the front wheel.
