PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wheel structure capable of avoiding the effect of the increased unsprung weight caused by the presence of a drive motor during the road surface input to a wheel. SOLUTION: A drive motor 34 to drive a wheel 12 by transmitting the driving force to the wheel 12 is disposed in a vicinity of the wheel 12 supported by a vehicle body. An output shaft of the drive motor 34 is coupled with a wheel 16 of the wheel 12 via a flexible coupling 36. The drive motor 34 is supported by a knuckle member to constitute a suspension 17 via a coil spring 40 and an absorber 42 so as to be relatively displaceable with respect to the wheel 12 along a guide 39 having the axis inclined in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle with respect to the vertical axis.
