Abstract:
An in-wheel motor drive device (10) includes: a wheel hub bearing portion (11); a motor portion (21) and a deceleration portion (31) disposed in an upwardly offset manner with respect to an axis of the wheel hub bearing portion (11); and a carrier (101) projecting downward to a position below the wheel hub bearing portion (11). A suspension connection portion (101c) is mounted on a lower end of the carrier (101), the suspension connection portion (101c) to be connected with a suspension device (116) so as to be directable in any direction. The suspension connection portion (101c) is disposed in an overlapping manner with the wheel hub bearing portion (11) with respect to a position in an axial direction of the wheel hub bearing portion (11).
