A method for manufacturing a vehicle bearing apparatus includes a method for manufacturing a hub ring. The hub ring includes a seal facing surface, a flange portion, and a shaft body portion. The flange portion includes a thin portion, a thick portion, bolt holes, a thin portion outer surface, a thick portion outer surface, and bolts. The flange portion protrudes outward from the shaft body portion. The thick portion is formed on an outer side with respect to the bolt holes in the flange portion, and the thin portion is formed on an inner side with respect to the thick portion in the flange portion. In the method for manufacturing the hub ring, machining is performed on the thick portion outer surface by using the seal facing surface subjected to grinding, as a reference surface, after the bolts are fitted into the flange portion.

A hub for bicycles including a hub shell which is rotatably supported relative to a hub axle, a rotor rotatably supported relative to the hub axle by means of two rotor bearings, and a freewheel device having two interacting freewheel components namely, a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component. The two freewheel components each include axial engagement elements and they are movable relative to one another in the axial direction between a freewheel position and an intermeshing engaging position. Rolling members are provided for defined accommodation in the hub-side freewheel component to support the hub shell relative to the hub axle. An attachment portion and a centering portion are configured in the hub shell and an attachment area and a centering area are configured on the hub-side freewheel component. The attachment area is connected with the attachment portion and the centering area is centered on the centering portion.

Bicycle hub includes a shell rotatably supported relative to a hub axle, a rotor rotatably supported by two rotor bearings, and a freewheel device having two interacting freewheel components: a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component. The freewheel components each include axial engagement elements and are axially movable relative to one another between a freewheel position and an engaging, driving torque position. The hub-side freewheel component includes a threaded axial body section and is screwed into the hub shell. The hub-side freewheel component has an axial, annular surface on which the axial engagement elements are configured. The rolling members of a hub bearing show a defined accommodation inside the hub-side freewheel component to support the shell relative to the hub axle. The hub-side freewheel component includes a tool contour which couples to an adapted tool for releasing the screw connection of the hub-side freewheel component with the shell.

An electric wheel, a remote controller, a vehicle using the electric wheel, and a method for driving a vehicle are disclosed. The electric wheel include a fixed wheel hub, a rotary wheel hub, a tire, a driving motor, and a battery and control unit. The fixed wheel hub may be connected with a vehicle shaft. The rotary wheel hub is mounted on the fixed wheel hub, with an accommodating cavity defined therebetween. The tire is attached around the rotary wheel hub. The driving motor is received in the accommodating cavity and configured to drive the rotary wheel hub. The battery and control unit is received in the accommodating cavity and configured to supply power to the driving motor and control operation of the driving motor. The battery and control unit comprising an embedded power supply to supply the power to the driving motor.

A bicycle hub unit configured to be stably coupled to a frame of a bicycle includes a hub axle and a rotation restriction member. The hub axle is configured to be coupled to the frame of the bicycle. The rotation restriction member is configured to couple the hub axle to the frame so that rotation relative to the hub axle and the frame is restricted. At least one of the hub axle and the rotation restriction member has a cable guide structure configured to guide a cable, which electrically connects an electric component and an electronic component, in a region including the rotation restriction member in an axial direction parallel to a center longitudinal axis of the hub axle.

A brake module (1) of a wheel module (2) has an anchor plate (20) adjacent to a wheel (10) and is indefinitely rotatable about the steering axis (L) with the wheel (10). A lifting unit (30) is fixed adjacent to the anchor plate (20) and fixed about the steering axis (L). A brake wheel (21) is arranged on the wheel shaft (11) and is rotatable about the wheel axis (R) with the wheel (10). At least one transfer element (22, 22) extends from the anchor plate (20) towards the brake wheel (21). The lifting unit (30) is configured to move the anchor plate (20) from a first state to a second state. In the first state, the elements (20, 30, 22, 22) are spaced apart without any contact. In the second state, the at least one transfer element (22, 22) abuts against the brake wheel (21) generating a brake force at the brake wheel (21).

Systems are provided for a disconnect system for an electric vehicle. In one example, a system includes a disconnect device of an axle system, the disconnect device comprising a clip configured to engage with a first groove of an axle and a second groove of a side gear.

A bicycle hub system, method and device including rear and front hub assemblies. Both the rear and front hub assemblies include locking mechanisms with matching undulating splined coupling faces that correspond to complementary undulating splined coupling faces of a wheel hub.

Wheel hub adaptor (11) attachable to vehicle wheel to attach vehicle accessory for rotation with vehicle wheel, has an inner mounting plate (15) with recesses or apertures (17) to match a vehicle wheel stud pattern, a body (19) extending from the plate (15) to an outer mounting plate (27) having a mount to which the vehicle accessory attaches. The mount has apertures (65) which align with studs (75) on a mating mount of the vehicle accessory. The inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate mount to the vehicle wheel and vehicle accessory respectively, by rotating apertures (17 65) to stop portions (35 71), and is secured by a bolt passing through one of two circular apertures (43 45) or (67 69). Vehicle accessories can be provided like a paddle to self-propel the vehicle in sand, and a wheel to widen the vehicle track.
