Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a powertrain assembly including a continuously variable transmission and, in some examples, a clutch. The clutch may be operably coupled between a prime mover and the continuously variable transmission. Additionally, or alternatively, a clutch may be operable coupled after or downstream of the continuously variable transmission. Aspects of the powertrain assembly may be controlled to provide starting-clutch functionality, to provide torque-limiting functionality, and/or to adapt operation of the powertrain for any of a variety of conditions.

Abstract: A sprocket assembly is described. The assembly includes a sprocket having an outer wheel with engaging members connected to a central hub including a first hub opening having a first diameter and a second hub opening having a smaller second diameter, and a hub including an alignment portion and an engagement portion that together define an axle opening for receiving an axle of a vehicle. The alignment portion incudes a smooth outer surface sized to be press fit into the second hub opening, and the engagement portion includes forming splines positioned to deform an inner surface of the first hub opening as the alignment portion is press fit into the second hub opening to form engagement splines on the inner surface that correspond to the splines. The hub is formed from a first material and the sprocket is formed from a less durable second material.
