This paper describes a motor fo wheel of an electric vehicle. It demonstrates various rotor parameters on an outer rotor pe motor (ORPM) with Surface-mounted magnets this paper is to reduce the magnet volume, whil torque performance through the complete ope different magnet topologies are investigated fir Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet (SSPM), I PM (IPM) and V shape interior PM (VPM) desig in terms of torque capability at certain magnet v gives highest torque performance. The iron shi VPM can
