Title:
IN-WHEEL MOTOR APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/133245
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an in-wheel motor apparatus which, without entailing increased complexity or major changes to the configuration of a suspension mechanism, can be disposed with a simple suspension configuration and minimize changes in vehicle height caused by drive power. A wheel with a rotational shaft extending in the traverse direction of a vehicle body, and an in-wheel motor mounted in the wheel are suspended by a suspension mechanism that is attached to the vehicle body such that movement in the traverse direction is restricted. The in-wheel motor is mounted in the wheel such that the rotational shaft axis of the in-wheel motor is either orthogonal to, oblique to, or offset from the rotational shaft axis of the wheel.
