A tire mounted wheel hub forms an integral part of a motor frame which is rotatably supported at its one end by a vehicle frame mounted arcuate flange and an included multi-direction bearing. The motor armature is bearing mounted in the motor frame and drives a planetgear assembly to transmit torque to the motor frame and cause it to rotate in counterrotational relationship with said armature and thereby propel a vehicle. The frame serves a tri-purpose function as a motor frame, a wheel, and a support for the armature, while deriving its sole support from a single multi-directional bearing. |
