Abstract
A front wheel is rotatably fitted to a knuckle of a suspension by means of a hub unit. While a stator bracket, which is fitted to an outer hub of the hub unit fixed to the knuckle, supports an annular stator, a rotor bracket, which is fitted to an inner hub of the hub unit to which the front wheel is fixed, supports an annular rotor, outside the stator. Rotation of the rotor is guided by a bearing of the hub unit.
