A vehicle may include a pedal assembly, a motor assembly, and a drive unit that may be used to allow selective usage of one or both of the pedal assembly and the motor assembly to convey power to a driven wheel of the vehicle. The drive unit can include a gearbox that may enclose components which form at least part of a first power path between the pedal assembly and the driven wheel and a second power path between the motor assembly and the driven wheel. The first and second power paths can converge at a component within the gearbox. One-way bearings at points in the first and second power paths prior to the convergence of the power paths can inhibit or prevent the pedal assembly from being affected by operation of the motor assembly, and vice versa.
