A wheel assembly to be coupled to a hub of a vehicle may include an inner rim to be coupled to the hub of the vehicle and an outer rim surrounding the hub. The wheel assembly may also include gas springs operatively coupled between the inner rim and the outer rim to provide a gas suspension for relative movement between the inner rim and the outer rim. An outer ring may be adjacent an inboard side of the outer rim and defining a closeable gap with adjacent interior portions of an inboard side of the inner rim to define a mechanical stop to limit relative movement between the inner rim and outer rim. The gas springs may be arranged on an outboard side of the outer ring.

A wheel assembly to be coupled to a hub of a vehicle may include an inner rim to be coupled to the hub of the vehicle and an outer rim surrounding the hub. The wheel assembly may also include gas springs with associated integral hydraulic dampers coupled between the inner and outer rims to provide a suspension for relative movement between the inner and outer rims. Each gas spring and associated integral hydraulic damper may include a first cylinder body and a second cylinder body slidable therein, and a first seal defining first and second gas chambers within the first cylinder body. Each gas spring and associated integral hydraulic damper may also include a shaft extending within the first cylinder body and into the second cylinder body defining a hydraulic fluid chamber, and an enlarged orifice body coupled to the shaft defining a hydraulic damper with the second cylinder body.

A wheel assembly may include an inner rim, and an outer rim surrounding the inner rim. The outer rim may include outer rim segments each hingeably coupled in end-to-end relation to an adjacent outer rim segment to define the outer rim. The wheel assembly may also include gas springs operatively coupled between the inner and outer rims, and tread members each carried by a respective one of outer rim segments.

A wheel assembly to be coupled to a hub of a vehicle may include an inner rim to be coupled to the hub of the vehicle and an outer rim surrounding the inner rim. The wheel assembly may also include gas springs operatively coupled between the inner rim and the outer rim to provide a gas suspension for relative movement between the inner rim and the outer rim. Each of the gas springs may have a controllable gas pressure. The wheel assembly also includes a wheel rotational position sensor, a vehicle operator control input interface, and a controller configured to control the gas pressure in each of the gas springs in a pattern in response to the wheel rotational position sensor and vehicle operator control input interface to assist in one of overcoming a rolling resistance of the wheel and a braking of the wheel.
