All times. Driving through a right angle hypoid gear differential with the gears weighing 30+lbs in a bath of 90wt gear oil, compared to a parallel belt drive, as on a bicycle, with atf oil lubricated drive clutches. And while turning there is no extra parts moving as in a normal diff. Should be much more efficient.
