A double wishbone suspension system for an in-wheel electric motor comprises an upper arm having a first end pivotally coupled to an upper portion of a motor mounting plate and two spaced apart second ends, the upper arm second ends are respectively coupled to first and second suspension mounting points; a lower arm having a first end pivotally coupled to a lower portion of the mounting plate and two spaced apart second ends, the lower arm second ends are respectively coupled to third and fourth suspension mounting points; a first coupling member having a first end pivotally coupled between the lower arm first second ends and a first coupling member second end is pivotally coupled to a second coupling element first end, wherein a second coupling member second end is pivotally coupled to the mounting plate between the first ends of the upper and lower arms.

Double wishbone suspension system for an in-wheel electric motor

A drive arrangement for a vehicle, the drive arrangement comprising a rotatable interface arranged to be mounted to the vehicle, wherein the rotatable interface is rotatably coupled to a mounting arm to allow continuous rotation of the mounting arm in a clockwise and anti clockwise direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal and transverse axis of the vehicle; and a first electric motor having a stator and a rotor, wherein the stator is coupled to the mounting arm to allow the axis of the rotor to be substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis of the rotatable interface, wherein the rotor is arranged to be coupled to a wheel of the vehicle to allow the electric motor to provide drive torque to the wheel.
