Abstract
The invention relates to a method of balancing a wheel assembly of an electric car, in which the wheel assembly comprises an in-wheel motor. The wheel assembly (with the tire mounted on it) is spun by the in-wheel motor, the imbalance is measured by a sensor on the wheel and the angular orientation is determined by an orientation sensor. A control unit in the car then determines the position and weight needed for balancing the wheel.
