The invention relates to an arrangement for a wheel for a wheelchair comprising a planetary gear (4) integrated with the aforementioned wheelchair wheel. A sun wheel, planet wheel and ring wheel incorporated in the gear are accommodated in a hub (5) comprising a hub inner part (6) and a hub outer part (7), which parts are rotatably supported relative to one another, are carried by a main shaft (13) capable of attachment to the wheelchair (3). The aforementioned hub parts (6, 7) are supported by means of bearing devices (17, 18, 19) acting around the periphery of the hub (5), which devices are so arranged on the one hand as to support the hub parts (6, 7) radially relative to one another, and are so arranged on the other hand as to provide axial locking of the hub parts (6, 7) relative to one another. In accordance with the invention, the bearing device (14) is formed from a number of grooves (17, 18) extending around the periphery of said hub parts (6, 7), inside which grooves rolling devices (19) or a plain bearing component are so arranged as to act. The aforementioned radial grooves (17, 18) are arranged directly in line with one another on the internal envelope surface of the outer part (7) of the hub and on the external envelope surface of the inner part (6) of the hub when the hub parts (6, 7) are assembled to form a wheelchair wheel hub (5).
