Power comes off the engine straight up to what they call a "miter box". It's a small assembly that works like an automotive rear-end. One side of the miter box has a sprocket that drives the rear wheel, the other side turns a driveshaft that runs through the frame backbone tube to another miter box. There's a U-joint at the steering pivot point. That's a chain going down to the front wheel.
