  • Wheel motor system
    Patent number: 6768932
    Abstract: A wheel motor traction assembly configured for use on a light duty vehicle adaptable for electric traction. The wheel motor traction assembly includes a wheel, a brake disc operatively connected to the wheel, a motor operatively connected to the wheel and a motor housing operatively connected to the motor. The motor housing has structural connectors for steering and suspension systems on a vehicle chassis and has a brake caliper operatively connected thereto. A parking brake caliper may also be connected to the motor housing for connection to a parking brake cable on the chassis. The motor housing is configured to bear vehicle chassis loads as the motor housing structurally interconnects the wheel to the chassis through the structural connectors.
