The invention relates to the field of land vehicles with electrically driven wheels, and more particularly to electric cars, electric buses, hybrid vehicles and the like, in which an electric drive motor is situated in direct proximity to the wheel that it drives. The technical result is a reduction in the weight and overall dimensions of the suspension and the vehicle. The essence of the utility model consists in that an independent arm suspension for a vehicle with an in-wheel motor having a hub with the drive shaft of the wheel disposed therein comprises an arm that is arranged longitudinally in the direction of travel of the vehicle and is configured as a single arm in the form of a hollow housing. Disposed inside the housing of the longitudinal arm are an electric drive motor and a gear train that connects the electric motor to the drive shaft of the wheel. Furthermore, the gear train comprises a drive gear and at least one driven gear, which are arranged out of alignment with each other. A first end of the arm of the suspension is connected to the hub of the wheel, and a second end of the arm is hingedly connected to the chassis of the vehicle so that the arm, together with the wheel, is capable of pivoting relative to the hinge.
