                          |   | Wheel-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor |  | evaluated |  |  |  
  |  |  
      | The wheel-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor is an interesting alternative to conventional AC asynchronous motors with gear transmission. In a wheel-mounted construction the torque of the motor is directly transmitted to the wheel. |  |  |
