A wheel includes a wheel rim, a hub defining a hollow housing for a wheel mount, and three or more resilient and equidistantly spaced spokes extending between an outer circumferential surface of the hub and an inner circumferential surface of the wheel rim. Each spoke is defined by a flexed, elongate spring element having a length that is greater than the radial distance between the outer circumferential surface of the hub and the inner circumferential surface of the wheel rim. The spring element is tangentially fixed at or towards one end to the outer circumferential surface of the hub and tangentially coupled at or towards its other end to the inner circumferential surface of the wheel rim via a hinged connection. The tangential coupling at the wheel rim is spaced circumferentially from the tangential fixing at the hub in a predetermined direction by a predetermined angle.
