Hub system and vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a hub system for a vehicle comprising: a hub shaft; a driving member being rotatably mounted with respect to the hub shaft; and a hub shell being rotatably mounted with respect to the hub shaft. It also comprises a brake shoe arranged for engaging the hub shell such as to be coupled with said hub shell temporarily; and a brake anchor arranged to be fixedly attached to a frame of a vehicle, and a coupling element arranged for enabling coupling between the driving member and the hub shell in a first position, and for enabling coupling between the brake anchor and the hub shell in a second position. The hub shaft is rotationally coupled to the brake shoe in at least one rotational direction at a first location located at a first lateral side of the driving member, and rotationally coupled to the brake anchor in at least one rotational direction at a second location located at a second lateral side of the driving member and opposite of the first lateral side of said driving member. Hence, the brake shoe can be positioned at one side of the driving member, and the brake anchor can be positioned at an opposite side of said driving member. As a result, the hub shell and/or a driven axis connected thereto can extend at a first side of a sprocket-wheel, whereas the brake anchor coupled to the hub shaft can be provided at the opposite side.
