A motorization apparatus for a motorized wheel comprises an axle secured to a frame of a vehicle. A rotor unit has poles of magnet material. A stator unit having slots and teeth secured to the axle is inward of said rotor to define a clearance gap therewith such that the rotor unit is rotatable about the stator core. An arrangement of coils is wound around the teeth of the stator unit, the coils adapted to be powered to induce a rotation of the rotor unit relative to the stator unit. A structure comprises hub portions rotatably mounted to the axle, the structure having lateral walls defining an inner volume for the rotor unit and the stator unit, the structure supporting the rotor unit. The structure comprises attachment members connected to spokes of the motorized wheel, located radially inward of the clearance gap between the rotor unit and the stator unit.

1. A motorization apparatus for a motorized wheel comprising: an axle adapted to be secured to a frame of a vehicle;a rotor unit having a plurality of poles of magnet material;a stator unit secured to the axle and being inward of said rotor and defining a clearance gap with the rotor unit such that the rotor unit is rotatable about the stator core, said stator unit having slots and defining teeth between said slots;an arrangement of coils of insulated wire being wound around the teeth of the stator unit, the coils adapted to be powered to induce a rotation of the rotor unit relative to the stator unit;a structure comprising hub portions rotatably mounted to the axle, the structure having lateral walls defining an inner volume for the rotor unit and the stator unit, the structure supporting the rotor unit relative to the stator unit for the rotor unit to rotate with the structure about the stator unit, the structure further comprising attachment members adapted to be connected to spokes of the motorized wheel, the attachment members being located radially inward of the clearance gap between the rotor unit and the stator unit. 2. The motorization apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hub portions are on opposite sides of the motorization apparatus and each have: a tubular portion;at least one bearing per tubular portion connecting the tubular portion to the axle for rotation of the tubular portion relative to the axle. 3. The motorization apparatus according to claim 2, wherein each of the hub portions has a flange projecting radially from the tubular portion, the attachment members being on the flange. 4. The motorization apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the flange has a crenellated periphery and the attachment members are holes in the crenellated periphery. 5. The motorization apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the attachment members are on a diameter of the flange ranging between 20 and 500 mm. 6. The motorization apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the structure comprises cover plates connected to the hub portions, the cover plates extending radially from the hub portions and interconnected to one another at an outer periphery of the motorization apparatus, the cover plates defining concurrently a substantial portion of the inner volume enclosing the rotor unit and the stator unit. 7. The motorization apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the cover plates are made of a non-ferrous material. 8. The motorization apparatus according to claim 7, wherein at least the tubular portions of the hub portions are made of metal. 9. The motorization apparatus according to claim 2, wherein one of the hub portions further comprises one of a freehub and a freewheel hub having a first end connected to and rotating with the tubular body, and a second cantilevered end projecting away from the hub portion. 10. The motorization apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least one channel is defined in an outer surface of the shaft for routing at least one cable for powering or controlling a power to the arrangement of coils, a first end of the at least one channel communicating with the inner volume of the structure, and a second end of the at least one channel being exterior to the structure. 11. The motorization apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a dropout abutment on the axle adapted to prevent rotation of the axle relative to the frame of the vehicle. 12. The motorization apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a printed circuit board secured to the stator unit and wired to the arrangement of coils. 13. The motorization apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising at least one receptacle fixedly secured to the stator unit and positioned in one of the slots, the at least one receptacle adapted to receive therein a sensor of the printed circuit board to determine an orientation of the rotor unit relative to the stator unit. 14. The motorization apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the stator unit comprises eighty-four of the slots. 15. The motorization apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the eighty-four slots are regrouped in four continuous sets of teeth per phase. 16. The motorization apparatus according to claim 15, wherein each of the continuous sets of teeth per phase has seven teeth. 17. The motorization apparatus according to claim 14, comprising one of eighty, eighty-eight and ninety-two of the poles. 18. The motorization apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising one of spline connection, knurling, serrated splines between the axle and the stator unit. 19. The motorization apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a ratio of rotor radius to rotor width of at least 10. 20. A motorized wheel comprising: the motorization apparatus according to claim 1; a rim; and spokes extending from the rim to the hub portions of the structure, a wheel inner volume being bound by innermost ones of the spokes, with at least the rotor unit being within the wheel inner volume.
