Abstract
In a vehicle in-wheel motor drive device, an in-wheel motor unit is supported by a supporting member in a posture in which a direction from a first axis to a center-of-gravity position of the in-wheel motor unit has a horizontal direction component in an axially perpendicular plane perpendicular to the first axis, and the supporting member is provided with a stopper brought into contact with the in-wheel motor unit to regulate vibrations having a component in a vertical direction around the first axis of the in-wheel motor unit before an elastic member reaches an elastic limit.
