Abstract: An axle assembly for a vehicle includes a frame, a motor, and a pair of gear reduction subassemblies. The frame extends between a first distal end and a second distal end. The second distal end opposes the first distal end. The motor is secured to the frame between the first distal end and the second distal end. The pair of gear reduction subassemblies are rotatably coupled to the first distal end and the second distal end and configured to drive rotation from the motor to a pair of wheels. Each gear reduction subassembly includes a plurality of gears defining a plurality of gear ratios.
