An electric transaxle includes a main housing defining threaded holes. The transaxle includes a first axle horn connected to the main housing. The transaxle includes an electric motor assembly that includes an electrical connector and the electric motor assembly is attached to the main housing next to the first axle horn to form a compact arrangement. The electric motor assembly defines through-holes. The electric motor assembly includes fasteners, each of which extends through a respective one of the through-holes and engages a respective one of the threaded holes, to attach the electric motor assembly to the main housing. The through-holes and the threaded holes are arranged in a first regular polygon shape to enable attachment of the electric motor assembly to the main housing in multiple orientations to orient the electrical connector away from the first axle horn in various installed orientations of the transaxle.
