Abstract
An in-wheel motor with improved driving force has a simplified cooling structure for the motor and a braking device. The in-wheel motor has a motor that transmits motive power to a wheel, at least a portion of the motor being disposed inside the wheel; a first cooling part and a second cooling part that cool a stator of the motor; and a braking device that applies braking to the wheel. The braking deviceis formed from a brake disc that rotates with the wheel and a brake caliper that induces braking by imparting friction to the brake disc. The brake caliper operates in the axial direction of the motor to induce braking in the brake disc. A portion of an axial-direction end of the brake caliper is in contact with the stator. The first cooling part and the second cooling part cool the braking device through the stator.
