Abstract

A wheel motor is arranged so that the wheel is supported directly on the bearing assembly 223 which connects to the inner part of the stator region 223, the vehicle weight not being transmitted via the rotor 240 to the bearing. The rotor mounts on the wheel studs and is located between the bearing and the wheel, the wheel contacting the centre of the rotor 225. The stator is secured to the vehicle by means of the external portion of the region 223. The description additionally discloses coil mounting, magnet mounting, fluid cooling, sealing, rotor position sensing, noise reduction, control electronics mounting and coil layout, control circuitry, traction and suspension control and braking control.
