An outer rotor motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator core having a plurality of teeth, coils and insulators retaining the coils. The insulators are connected to each other in an annular configuration such that the teeth are inserted into the insulators. Each of the insulators includes a body portion and an outer peripheral flange. Each of the insulators further includes an auxiliary tooth portion on at least one of two axial ridge portions. The axial ridge portions include bonding portions between the body portion and the outer peripheral flange. The auxiliary tooth portion includes a rotor-facing surface facing the rotor and a tooth-contacting surface contacting one of the side surfaces in the circumferential direction. |
