Hub reduction
The hub reduction consists of a cylindrical planetary gear in each
hub. The planetray gear comprises a sun gear, 4 planet gears,
and a ring gear that surrounds the planet gears. When the drive
axle, and thereby the sun gear, rotates, the rotational movement
is transmitted to the planet gears. Because the ring gear is fixed
firmly in the planetary gear carrier/hub, the planet gears move to-
wards the ring gear. The hub follows this movement and the ro-
tation is transmitted to the wheels. The gear ratio is determined
by the number of teeth in the various gears.
