An elastic drive coupling between an electrically powered hollow drive shaft and the drive wheel of a track operated vehicle such as for example an electric locomotive wherein an annular coupling plate is located adjacent to but spaced from the inner side of the drive wheel and the inner periphery of the coupling plate is secured to the hub of the drive wheel. The outermost of two concentric, radially spaced rings surrounding the hollow drive shaft and between which a rubber-containing elastic member is secured, is fixed to the outer periphery of the coupling plate and the innermost ring is fixed to the hollow drive shaft.
