Abstract:
1. A motor with a stator and a rotor with a supporting bearing and an outer circumference and width and a wheel attached to a support axis with a bearing coupled for the transfer of torque, in a vehicle, wherein the wheel and the rotor each have a normal position and a displaced position attained at the time of radial loading of the wheel, and wherein the wheel and the rotor are coaxial in the normal position and substantially coaxial in the displaced position, and wherein said motor with a rotor is located substantially inside the cylinder described by a circumference and a width of said wheel, and a coupling for transfer of torque lies substantially in an annular space described by the outer circumference of the rotor of the motor and the inner circumference of the wheel and the width of the motor, such that radial loading on said wheel are transferred directly to said wheel bearings, but not directly to said motor.
