Best Answer

Where the gearbox sprocket would be is shifted through 90 degrees. A drive shaft is connected, on a universal joint, between the gearbox and the back wheel 'bevel box' hub. The bevel box contains a bevelled pinion gear, on the end of the drive shaft, which connects to a bevelled crown wheel attached to the wheel hub; like half a reverse engineered car differential. The drive shaft is often enclosed in one leg of the swing arm, to which the bevel box hub is also attached.
