Driven sidecar wheel and driveshaft.

R75 Differential assy
The 1941 R75, as used by the Wehrmacht, was by far the most sophisticated motorcycle of the day. The machine had telescopic front forks, but lacked rear suspension (as did most motorcycles of the time) and frequently appeared in solo guise. The 748cc OHV motor produced 26PS, quite sufficient to propel the 420 kg machine over terrain all but impassible to other vehicles.
