It looks like the axle that the little two-wheel fork is on is also the axle through which the wheels are powered. As a result when the motors spin the fork rotates until it hits the ground. Once the fork can't go further down the wheels are forced to rotate by the same motor. If that is the case its a pretty cool system.

Off to watch the video some more..
Cheers, Bryan
