A wheel having a hub and a circular ring is provided. The circular ring has a central axis, an outer surface having a first outer edge and a second outer edge, and a plurality of holes disposed on the outer surface. Additionally, the wheel has a plurality of spokes each being adapted to attach to both the hub and the circular ring, and each of the plurality of spokes being concaved and arranged in an alternating pattern. A plurality of lugs is disposed on the outer surface of the circular ring, and each of plurality of lugs has a first leg and a second leg, each extending from a center rib and a lug plate adapted to connect the first leg to the center rib.

A storage device for an extractable hose arranged in an installation space. The storage device includes a first housing member defining a first storage compartment. The first storage compartment is configured to house at least a portion of the hose which is extractable from the first storage compartment via a hose port arranged at the first housing member. The first housing member includes at least one spatial curved wall section eluding the contour of at least one module extending into the installation space.

A wheel includes a rim having a rim well and rim flanges, a hub, and at least three spoke elements. Each spoke element forms at least one spoke between the hub and the rim. The spoke elements are fastened to an inside of the rim in a form-closed manner or a form-closed and bonded manner. In the hub region, the spoke elements are supported on each other in a circumferential direction at abutting surfaces designed therefor. A method for producing the wheel is provided.

A spoke-to-rim reinforcing connector of a composite wheel. The composite wheel has a rim portion with a complementary rim fibre layup and a circumferential axis, and a face portion with a hub and spokes interconnecting the rim portion and the hub, each spoke having a complementary spoke fibre layup. The spoke-to-rim reinforcing connector comprises at least one spoke saddle and at least two rim tabs. The spoke saddle has a seat portion extending around an end portion, about the spoke axis, and over a face surface of the spoke fibre layup, and at least two spoke legs that extend over the sides of the spoke fibre layup. Each rim tab extends from a spoke leg perpendicularly to the spoke axis and is configured to be incorporated into the rim fibre layup. The connector has a continuous body having a fibre orientation extending perpendicular to the spoke axis.

A wheel with an intelligent suspension system that includes a hub, a rim and a set of spokes with dynamically adjustable spoke lengths. Further included is one or more sensors associated with at least the hub and the rim and a microcontroller unit (MCU) that receives sensory signals from the one or more sensors, and transmits control signals to the set of spokes to dynamically control spoke lengths of the set of spokes.
