The motor (8) includes a motor shell (6), a drive shaft housing (16) disposed in the motor(8), and an extended drive shaft (14) disposed in the drive shaft housing (16). The extended drive shaft (14) replaces conventional couplings and separate axles and thereby reduces the number of bearings needed. Noise and the possibility of misalignment are also reduced by the extended drive shaft (14) of the motor (8), which is coupled directly to a vehicle axle drive gear (32).",
