A freewheel adjustable wheel comprising:
- a rotating gear unit rotated by power transmitted from a pedal unit, and comprising a gear provided along an outer circumference;
- a fixing case rotatably supporting the rotating gear;
- a inner case mounted inside the fixing case;
- a clutch bearing disposed between the rotating gear and the inner case, and transmitting power when the rotating gear is rotated in a forward direction;
- a first gear having a shape having one side fixed to the inner case and the other side surrounding an outer surface of the clutch bearing, and receiving power through the clutch bearing;
- a drive unit fixed to the fixing case and supplying rotation power;
- a moving gear moved by power of the drive unit and operated in a non-freewheel mode of being engaged with the first gear and a freewheel mode of being spaced apart from the first gear;
- and
- a gear position adjusting unit disposed in each of the first gear and the moving gear, and adjusting a position at which the first gear and the moving gear are engaged with each other by a magnetic force.
