The invention relates to a geared motor comprising electric motors, gears and an adapter which is disposed between the electric motors and the gears; the gears comprising an input shaft and an output shaft; each motor having a rotor shaft; the adapter having an adapter flange which forms a housing; the adapter flange at least partially surrounding a summarizing gear in such a manner as to form a housing, in particular for causing the power flows generated by the motors to converge at the gear input shaft; a cooling medium, in particular coolant, being able to flow through each of the motors, which are in particular liquid-cooled; the motors having an outlet for the cooling medium; there being formed on the adapter flange ducts which cause the cooling medium emerging at each motor outlet to converge at an outlet, in particular at a single common outlet on the adapter flange.
