Motorized wheel with suspension

A motorized wheel with suspension, the motorized wheel comprising:

• (1) a rim;
• (2) a hub motor including a stator member and a rotor member, and being configured for producing torques for rotating the motorized wheel around a rotation-axis;
• and
• (3) a suspension unit, including:
• (a) at least two structural members, said structural members having first ends that are pivotally connected to and equally spaced around said rim and having second ends that are pivotally connected to and equally spaced around said hub motor, wherein each structural member is angularly deviated in a common direction from a radial line extending from a connection of the structural member to the rim and the center of the wheel,
• wherein said at least two structural members are configured to change in size and/or shape, relative to a nominal size and/or shape thereof, during rotations of said rotor member relative to a center point of said rim, and
• (b) at least two motion resisting components, each component being adapted to retain one of said at least two structural members at said nominal size and/or shape thereof under torques smaller than a predefined threshold torque.
