Rotor arrangement for a wheel hub motor

A rim comprising:

• a rotor arrangement including:
• at least two rotor windings;
• at least two rotor cores, each rotor core of the at least two rotor cores having a first end and a second end;
• and
• wherein the at least two rotor windings and the at least two rotor cores are configured to conduct a magnetic flux, and such that the magnetic flux can be induced into the at least two rotor cores by the at least two rotor windings,
• wherein the first ends of the at least two rotor cores and the at least two rotor windings are arranged in a region of an axis of rotation of the rim, and
• wherein each of the at least two rotor cores extend radially and/or axially from the respective first end along a contour of the rim.

A wheel hub motor comprising:

• a rotor arrangement including:
• a stator including at least two stator windings;
• at least two rotor windings;
• at least two rotor cores, each rotor core of the at least two rotor cores having a first end and a second end;
• and
• a rim having an axis of rotation,
• wherein the at least two rotor windings and the at least two rotor cores are configured to conduct a magnetic flux, and such that the magnetic flux can be induced into the at least two rotor cores by the at least two rotor windings,
• wherein the first ends of the at least two rotor cores and the at least two rotor windings are arranged in a region of the axis of rotation of the rim,
• wherein each of the at least two rotor cores extend radially and/or axially from the respective first end along a contour of the rim, and
• wherein the at least two stator windings are configured to interact electromagnetically with the second ends of at least two rotor cores of the rotor arrangement.
