VEHICLE WHEEL MECHANISM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A wheel mechanism is disclosed for a vehicle which has a wheel support, such as an axle, in which an electric motor is housed having a drive shaft within a hub. A wheel is journaled on bearings around the hub and an axially outboard wall cooperates with the hub to form a gear case. Within the gear case, first and second planetary gear sets are connected to drive the wheel from the motor drive shaft. The axially outboard wall on the gear case is nonrotating and supports brake calipers to cooperate with a disc brake secured to the wheel. A modular construction of the entire wheel mechanism is provided, with the brake being outboard for easy servicing of brake pads and the planetary gear sets being next outboard for any service or gear ratio change required. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
