At this time, the motor rotor 12 of the motor assembly 10 drives the front ring gear 22 of the front planetary gear set 20 through the first center shaft 13, the driving member, and the driven member. At the same time, the motor rotor 12 of the motor assembly 10 drives the front sun gear 21 through the first center shaft 13. At this time, the speed ratio of the output speed of the front planetary carrier 23 is 1:1, and the motor assembly 10 directly outputs, which has a higher transmission efficiency.
[0054] The rear follower 62 of the rear shift component 60 is connected to the frame 30 through the rear locking member 63.

At this time, the speed ratio of the rear planetary gear set 70 is the largest, and the output speed ratio is the speed ratio of the rear planetary gear set 70.
[0055] Third gear: Figure 4 As shown, the front driven member 42 of the front shift component 40 is connected to the locking member. At this time, the front ring gear 22 of the front planetary gear set 20 is connected to the frame 30 through the front driven member 42 and the front locking member 43, and the front ring gear 22 is locked. At this time, the motor rotor 12 of the motor assembly 10 drives the front sun gear 21 of the front planetary gear set 20 through the first central shaft 13. At this time, the speed ratio of the front planetary gear set 20 is the highest.
[0056] The rear driving member 61 of the rear shift component 60 is connected to the rear driven member 62, and the power of the front planetary carrier 23 drives the rear ring gear 72 of the rear planetary gear set 70 via the rear driving member 61 and the rear driven member 62; at the same time, the front planetary carrier 23 drives the rear sun gear 71 of the rear shift component 60 via the second center shaft 14. At this time, the rear ring gear 72 and the rear sun gear 71 are both driven by the front planetary carrier 23, and the speed ratio of the rear planetary gear set 70 is 1:1. At this time, the output speed ratio is the speed ratio of the front planetary gear set 20.
[0057] Fourth gear: Figure 5 As shown, the front driving member 41 of the front shift component 40 is connected to the front driven member 42. At this time, the motor rotor 12 of the motor assembly 10 drives the front ring gear 22 of the front planetary gear set 20 through the first center shaft 13, the driving member, and the driven member. At the same time, the motor rotor 12 of the motor assembly 10 drives the front sun gear 21 through the first center shaft 13. At this time, the speed ratio of the output speed of the front planetary carrier 23 is 1:1, and the motor assembly 10 directly outputs, which has a higher transmission efficiency.
[0058] The rear driving member 61 of the rear shift component 60 is connected to the rear driven member 62, and the power of the front planetary carrier 23 drives the rear ring gear 72 of the rear planetary gear set 70 via the rear driving member 61 and the rear driven member 62; at the same time, the front planetary carrier 23 drives the rear sun gear 71 of the rear shift component 60 via the second center shaft 14.
