Vehicle having a wheel assembly with an in-wheel motor

Abstract

A vehicle including a wheel assembly with an in-wheel motor that reduces the rate of output of the in-wheel motor using a reduction mechanism, which includes a counter gear mechanism and a planetary gear set, and drives a wheel and is structured such that the directionality of a helix angle of a helical gear of a counter gear mechanism in a left wheel is opposite the directionality of a helix angle of a helical gear of the counter gear mechanism in a right wheel, and the directionality of the helix angle of a helical gear of the planetary gear set in the left wheel is the same as the directionality of the helix angle of a helical gear of the planetary gear set in the right wheel.
