Electric off-road wheeled vehicle

This invention describes a specific way to shut down an electric off-road vehicle. When the vehicle's motor is stopped, the system automatically connects the front wheels' driveshaft to the motor. Additionally, the invention suggests automatically linking the left and right wheels on both the front and rear axles so they rotate together during this shutdown process.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced EV control systems were widespread. The integration of sophisticated electronic control units in modern electric off-road vehicles makes implementing complex, automated shutdown sequences involving mechanical drive components more feasible and reliable today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateDriveshaft clutch, axle locking mechanisms, control logic
