Not everyone can live without that red mark in the ledger, but we'll help you find out if you might be a candidate. Where I live in Atlanta, the necessity of owning a car is highly subjective. In some areas, it's not possible to get by without a car, as everything is miles away.
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) (also known as a single-speed transmission, stepless transmission, pulley transmission, or, in case of motorcycles, a twist-and-go) is an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of effective gear ratios.
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) seeks to overcome this by offering an infinite number of gear ratios between a transmissionâs upper and lower ratio limit. Most CVTs feature two pulleys connected via a V-shaped belt: one pulley is driven by the engine, and the other is connected to the wheels. To change gear ratios the transmission manipulates the ride height of the belt across the pulleys.
