Abstract
The invention provides an electrical wheel comprising a hub located along a center line, a rim being rotatable about the hub such that the center line forms axis of revolution, and an electrical unit arranged to provide torque between the hub and the rim. The rim forms a compartment with a sidewall extending between a circular bottom and an opening. The hub extends through a suspension located centrally in the circular bottom and terminates in a free end inside the compartment. The electrical unit is located in the compartment in continuation of the hub and fixed to the free end of the hub. The wheel comprises a transmission for transferring the torque from the electrical unit to the rim. The transmission is arranged in the compartment about the hub, and the transmission is located between the bottom and the electrical unit.

An electrical wheel comprising a hub extending along a center line, a rim being rotatable about the hub such that the center line forms axis of revolution, and an electrical unit arranged to provide a torque between the hub and the rim, where
- the rim forms a compartment with a sidewall extending between a circular bottom and an opening;
- the hub extends through a suspension located centrally in an opening in the circular bottom forming a closed surface and terminates in a free end inside the compartment;
- the electrical unit is located in the compartment in continuation of the hub and fixed to the free end of the hub;
- and
- where the wheel comprises a transmission for transferring the torque from the electrical unit to the rim, the transmission is positioned on the hub, the hub is disposed perpendicular to the circular bottom, and the transmission is located between the bottom and the electrical unit.
