Disclosed herein is a universal rotating hub that can facilitate movement of an automobile or other vehicle that has been rendered immobile by a condition that prevents rotation of one or more of the vehicle's wheels. The universal rotating hub can comprise a wheel flange comprising an axle bore adapted to receive an axle and a plurality of apertures adapted to receive a plurality of different lug bolt patterns of a plurality of respective wheel hubs. The universal rotating hub can further comprise a rotating flange adapted to be coupled to a wheel. The rotating flange can comprise a plurality of lug holes adapted to receive a plurality of lug bolts of the wheel. The universal rotating hub can further comprise a bearing coupled at a first end to the wheel flange and at a second end to the rotating flange. The bearing can be adapted to enable a rotation of the rotating flange.

An emergency wheel attachment is provided for attachment to an outside of a vehicle wheel so as to enable a driving operation with restricted tire function, and includes an annular mounting unit configured to mount the emergency wheel attachment on the vehicle wheel, and an annular tread unit configured to contact, in the operating state of the emergency wheel attachment, a road on which the vehicle wheel is intended to roll. The annular mounting unit has at least two retaining claws configured to fasten the annular mounting unit to a rim of the vehicle wheel, an annular actuating element forming part of a gear mechanism configured to convert rotation of the annular actuating element into radial movement of the retaining claws, and a drive device configured to be coupled to the annular actuating element and the actuation of which causes a rotation of the annular actuating element.
