SPIDER Automation | 6-Inch 24V 250W Brushless Hub Motor with Airless Tyre | Compact Electric Vehicle Wheel Drive
The SPIDER Automation 6-Inch 24V 250W Brushless Hub Motor with Airless Tyre is an integrated wheel-drive assembly developed for compatible electric scooters, self-balancing vehicles, electric skateboards and other compact electric mobility platforms. The unit combines a brushless hub motor with an airless tyre, providing a compact drive-wheel arrangement for applications designed around its electrical and mechanical specifications.
The motor is rated for 24V DC operation with 250W listed operating power. Its wiring includes Hall sensor and temperature-sensor connections for compatible controller and monitoring arrangements. The wheel assembly has a listed tyre diameter of 162mm, tyre height of 45mm and a D-type shaft with a 50mm length. The stepped shaft profile and mounting dimensions should be matched to the vehicle’s mechanical interface before installation.
Product Overview & Integrated Hub Motor Design
This product combines the brushless motor and tyre into one integrated hub-wheel assembly. The motor is housed within the wheel-drive unit, allowing the wheel to be driven directly through the hub rather than through a separate external motor and belt or chain transmission arrangement.
The assembly is intended for compact electric vehicle platforms that support a 24V brushless motor system. It is supplied with a black airless tyre and a silver-finish motor housing. The supplier indicates that two external design variations may be available while retaining the same stated working function.
Technical Features & Functional Characteristics
- Brushless Hub Motor: Uses brushless motor technology in an integrated wheel-drive configuration.
- 24V DC Rated Voltage: Designed for compatible 24V electric vehicle power systems.
- 250W Operating Power: Provides the listed motor power rating for drive-system selection.
- Integrated Airless Tyre: Supplied with a black airless tyre as part of the hub motor assembly.
- Hall Sensor Wiring: Provides Hall sensor connections for compatible controller feedback and commutation systems.
- Temperature Sensor Wiring: Includes a temperature-sensor connection for compatible monitoring systems.
- D-Type Shaft: Features a stepped shaft profile with round and flat-side dimensions for mechanical integration.
- Compact Wheel Assembly: The listed tyre diameter is 162mm, with a tyre height of 45mm.
- Short Connection Wiring: Approximately 200mm of connection wiring is listed for electrical integration.
- Two External Design Variations: The supplier describes two external designs with the same stated working function; the actual appearance may vary.
Brushless Motor & Sensor Connections
The motor uses brushless technology and includes wiring for Hall sensor feedback. In a compatible brushless drive system, Hall sensors provide rotor-position information to the controller to support electronic commutation. The controller must be designed for the motor’s electrical configuration and sensor arrangement.
The assembly also includes a temperature-sensor connection. This is intended for use with a compatible monitoring input where supported by the controller or associated electronics. The sensor type, resistance characteristics, operating range, wire colours and connector pinout are not established by the supplied product information.
The motor should therefore be connected using the matching wiring diagram or technical documentation for the specific motor and controller combination. Hall sensor and temperature-sensor wires should not be connected based on colour assumptions.
Tyre & Mechanical Shaft Configuration
The wheel assembly is supplied with a black airless tyre measuring 162mm in listed diameter and 45mm in height. Airless construction removes the need for an inflatable inner tube, while the integrated tyre and hub arrangement provides a single assembly for compatible vehicle designs.
The motor has a D-type shaft with a listed overall shaft length of 50mm. The shaft dimensions are described as 16mm on the round section and 13.5mm on the flat side. Because the shaft is stepped, the mating bracket, bearing support or retaining hardware must match the actual shaft profile and usable engagement length.

Installation & Operating Recommendations
Before installing the hub motor, confirm compatibility with the vehicle’s electrical system, controller, mechanical mounting points and wheel clearance. The shaft profile and sensor wiring are important integration details and should be matched to the specific vehicle design.
- Use a Compatible Brushless Controller: Select a controller designed for a 24V, 250W brushless motor and compatible with the motor’s Hall sensor configuration.
- Match the Electrical Supply: Use a suitable 24V DC system and ensure that the controller’s operating limits are appropriate for the motor.
- Follow the Correct Wiring Diagram: Identify motor phase, Hall sensor and temperature-sensor connections from the motor/controller documentation. Do not infer pin functions from wire colours alone.
- Check Shaft Dimensions: Match the 16mm round section, 13.5mm flat-side dimension and 50mm shaft length to the mounting hardware and retaining arrangement.
- Verify Wheel Clearance: Check the 162mm tyre diameter and 45mm tyre height against the vehicle frame, fork or wheel housing before installation.
- Secure the Motor Assembly: Use a mounting arrangement designed for the shaft geometry and the mechanical loads generated during acceleration and braking.
- Protect Sensor Wiring: Route the approximately 200mm wiring away from moving parts, sharp edges and excessive mechanical tension.
- Test Before Regular Operation: Raise the driven wheel clear of the ground, where practical, and check motor direction, sensor response and controller operation before a loaded test.
- Inspect the Airless Tyre: Check the tyre surface and mounting condition periodically for wear, damage or looseness.
