A hybrid-drive motorcycle comprising an endothermic engine, a rear wheel connected to a carrier structure through a swingarm, a gearbox connected to the endothermic engine through a primary transmission and to the rear wheel through a secondary transmission, and a reversible electric machine, wherein an auxiliary transmission connects the electric machine to an input shaft of the secondary transmission, and wherein the electric machine is mounted on the carrier structure below the swingarm.

A transmission (G) for a motor vehicle includes an electric machine (EM), a first input shaft (GW1), a second input shaft (GW2), an output shaft (GWA), a planetary gear set (P1), a pre-ratio configured as a spur gear transmission (SRS), and at least four shift elements (A, B, C′, D). Different gears are selectable by selectively actuating the at least four shift elements (A, B, C′, D) and, in addition, in interaction with the electric machine (EM), different operating modes are implementable.

A counter gear mechanism includes: a fifth gear in mesh with a third gear; a sixth gear in mesh with a fourth gear; and a seventh gear in mesh with a differential input gear. The seventh gear is disposed between the fifth gear and the sixth gear in an axial direction. A switching mechanism is disposed between the third gear and the fourth gear in the axial direction. The switching mechanism makes switching among: a state in which the third gear is coupled to a second input member; a state in which the fourth gear is coupled to the second input member; and a state in which the third gear and the fourth gear are decoupled from the second input member.
