[0028] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the present utility model, Figure 2 is an assembly schematic diagram of the centrifugal clutch and the driven wheel assembly, Figure 3 is Figure 1 a partial enlarged view of, as Figures 1-3 shown: The motorcycle drive system of this embodiment includes an engine and a continuously variable transmission. The continuously variable transmission includes a driving wheel assembly and a driven wheel assembly. The driving wheel assembly is used to receive the power of the crankshaft 1 of the engine and transmit it to the driven wheel assembly. The driven wheel assembly includes a fixed disc 6 of the driven wheel and a driving disc 25 of the driven wheel. The driving wheel assembly receives the power of the crankshaft 1 and transmits it to the driven wheel assembly through a belt 3;
[0029] It further includes a centrifugal clutch. The centrifugal clutch is arranged on one side close to the fixed disc 6 of the driven wheel to receive or disconnect the power of the driven wheel assembly. The continuously variable transmission and the centrifugal clutch are assembled in the crankcase 4. The centrifugal clutch is arranged on one side of the fixed disc 6 of the driven wheel (i.e., between the driven wheel assembly and the vehicle frame), so that the inner space can be fully utilized successfully, and the left width of the crankcase 4 can be shortened (relative to the left - right direction of the motorcycle). Thus, after assembly and installation, the center of gravity of the engine can be closer to the center of the vehicle frame, meeting the requirements of the vehicle's handling performance and comfort.
[0030] In the prior art, a continuously variable transmission and a clutch are assembled in the crankcase 4 of a motorcycle engine. When assembling the clutch, generally, it is located on the outermost side of the vehicle body relative to the vehicle body. Such an assembly structure requires a larger space in the crankcase 4 body and is often applicable to the drive system of single - cylinder motorcycles. For a parallel twin - cylinder engine, adopting such an assembly method will result in an excessive left - right width of the whole vehicle. To meet the bending angle, the engine needs to be assembled at a high position. The motorcycle drive system and the motorcycle of the present utility model can meet the usage requirements of parallel twin - cylinder engine motorcycles. Compared with the drive system in the prior art, by installing the centrifugal clutch on the side close to the vehicle frame, the left width of the crankcase 4 can be shortened, making the center of the engine closer to the center of the vehicle frame, thereby improving the handling performance and comfort of the whole vehicle.
[0031] In this embodiment, it further includes a driven wheel shaft 5. The driven wheel assembly is sleeved on the driven wheel shaft 5. The centrifugal clutch includes a friction disc 17. The friction disc 17 is in transmission cooperation with the driven wheel shaft 5 through key connection and there is a set gap between the friction disc 17 and the driven wheel shaft 5. The driven wheel assembly is installed on the driven wheel shaft 5 through a support bearing IV 27 and a support bearing V 28. The driven wheel shaft 5 is press-fitted into the bearing hole of the crankcase 4 body. The friction disc 17 is in transmission cooperation with the driven wheel shaft 5 through key connection (it can be through spline connection) and is in clearance fit with the driven wheel shaft 5. Thus, compared with the interference fit of the prior art in the overall assembly of the centrifugal clutch, through the way of spline clearance fit, the centrifugal clutch is easier to assemble during assembly, and it is more convenient to disassemble and assemble during subsequent maintenance, greatly reducing the probability of damaging the driven wheel shaft 5 during disassembly and assembly. At the same time, it can also reduce the overall assembly difficulty of the motorcycle drive system, and the motorcycle drive system does not require high-position assembly. During use, the driven wheel shaft 5 transmits power to the gear transmission cavity 24 through a gear, and transmits the power to the motorcycle rear wheel through the gear transmission cavity 24.
[0032] In this embodiment, the friction disc 17 includes a friction disc body and a shaft sleeve. The friction disc body is sleeved on the driven wheel shaft 5 through the shaft sleeve. The friction disc body is in transmission cooperation with the driven wheel shaft 5 through the shaft sleeve, which can make the power transmission more stable and reliable.

The fastener I 19 is a nut, thus fastening the friction disc body to the driven wheel shaft 5.
[0034] In this embodiment, the driving wheel assembly includes a driving wheel fixed disc 26 fixed on the crankshaft 1, a driving shaft sleeve arranged inside the driving wheel fixed disc 26 and sleeved on the crankshaft 1 loosely, and a driving wheel moving disc 2 sleeved on the driving shaft sleeve loosely.
