The Brushless Direct Drive DC Motors are to be manufactured as an internal part of the tire rim. The wheel assembly consists of 5 components. The permanent magnets shown in yellow are attached to the rotating inner hub shown in green. This inner hub has the brake rotor assembly along with the tire mounting rim which attaches to the tire shown in black. The outer rim shown in grey is stationary and houses the electronics and coils shown in purple. The outer rim mates with the inner hub through roller bearings and seals not shown here. The ideal combination prevents foreign matter from entering the motor and offers low friction and resistance to turning.
