Wheel assembly with elliptical spokes

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle frame;
• and
• a wheel supported by the vehicle frame, the wheel being rotatable relative to the vehicle frame;
• the wheel having a rim and a hub concentric with the rim;
• the wheel having a first set of spokes spaced circumferentially about the hub between the rim and the hub, the spokes of the first set of spokes each having an elliptical shape elongated in a direction radially from the hub to the rim;
• the wheel having a second set of spokes spaced circumferentially about the hub between the first set of spokes and the rim, the spokes of the second set of spokes each having a partial elliptical shape elongated in a direction radially from the hub to the rim;
• and
• the spokes of the first set of spokes being in an alternating arrangement with spokes of the second set of spokes circumferentially about the hub;
• each of the first set of spokes extending radially away from the hub from a first vertex proximal to the hub to a second vertex distal to the hub, the first vertex being fixed to the hub and the second vertex being fixed to the rim;
• the rim being tangential to each spoke of the first set of spokes at the second vertex and the hub being tangential to each spoke of the first set of spokes at the first vertex;
• and
• each spoke of the second set of spokes including a third vertex and the rim being tangential to each spoke of the second set of spokes at the third vertex.
