Abstract :
This paper deals with the optimization of the design of electrical wheels. A new approach is used that generates the optimization software. It allows the design to be made with a more elaborate analytical model of the structure chosen for the wheel. Thus, it is possible to obtain a very efficient optimization program. This is illustrated on the example of an electrical wheel for a bicycle
