Wheel With Motor Inside

Each wheel integrates a motor steering actuators suspension and braking right inside the wheel controlled by a drive by wire system.
Wheel with motor inside. Producing a vehicle that uses in wheel electric motors is a process that s a lot more complex than just tearing out the engine and then cramming electric motors into the unused space inside the wheel. The hiriko folding urban electric prototype has the drive motors located inside each of the four wheels and has an electronically controlled maximum speed of 50 km h 31 mph. With over 700 nm of peak torque 75 kw of peak power and 50 kw of continuous power this liquid cooled motor is a perfect fit for a wide range of passenger car classes. Its motor is designed to fit inside wheels of 18 to 24 inches in diameter and is said to allow up to 85 percent of the kinetic energy to be recaptured under regenerative braking.
