Electric vehicle and electric motorcycle

An electric vehicle which comprises an electric motor mounted on at least one wheel of the electric vehicle, said electric motor comprising a rotor fitted on the outer side and a stator fitted on the inner side, wherein that the electric motor's stator is arranged to function as an axle for said wheel in such a way that the stator is adapted to bear the loads between said wheel and the remaining structure of the vehicle, which the electric vehicle comprises at least two wheels and a body, wherein said wheel, on which the electric motor is provided, is arranged in attachment with the body by means of a support member, the support member comprising a support member attachment portion adapted to be attached to the body so that the support member attachment portion is between portions of the body in a direction of the rotational axis, and wherein the support member is:

• configured so as to enable its disassembly into at least two separate pieces relative to a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis of said wheel, wherein the two separate pieces are further arranged to be attached to each other at portions of the pieces to be arranged between the body and said wheel, and
• attached to the stator on both sides of said wheel in the direction of the rotational axis so that there are at least two attaching points on each of said sides, wherein one of the attaching points on either of said sides is arranged on a first side of a first plane defined by the rotational axis and an imaginary line between the support member attachment portion and the rotational axis, and another one of the attaching points on either of said sides is arranged on the opposite side of the first plane relative to the first side, wherein the attaching points are further arranged on a portion of the stator which is on a side of a second plane having the support member attachment portion, the second plane being perpendicular to the first plane and extending via the rotational axis.
