PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wheel drive device having small-size and capable of outputting high torque. ! SOLUTION: A wheel drive device 1 is equipped with a motor 2, and a speed reducer 3 for decelerating and outputting the rotations of the motor 2. The speed reducer 3 is equipped with a sun gear 41 coaxially disposed with a rotary shaft 33 of the motor 2, a plurality of planetary gears 42 engaged with the sun gear 41 and disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction, a carrier 43 for supporting each planetary gear 42 so as to rotate about a center of the planetary gear, and an internal gear 44 engaged with each planetary gear 42. At an inner side end portion of the internal gear 44, a first rim portion 74 extended outward in a diametrical direction is formed, and at an outer side end portion of the internal gear 44, a second rim portion 75 extended outward in the diametrical direction is formed. A tire 5 is supported by the first and second rim portions 74 and 75 at its inner peripheral edg |
