A powertrain of a vehicle comprising an electric motor (16) having a drive shaft (11) wherein the drive shaft is oriented preferably perpendicular to the common axis (Aw) of the wheels (18) which the powertrain is intended to drive (i.e. rotate). The drive shaft of the electric motor is mechanically connected to the axles (20, 22) of the wheels, which are aligned with the common axis, via a transmission (10) having at least one pair of mating gears (12, 14), preferably with one of the pair of mating gears being an offset pinion (14), and with the reduction ratio of the transmission being in the range of about 6 to about 15 with the pinion having 2 to 6 teeth.
