The invention discloses a hub motor and a suspension using the hub motor. The hub motor and the suspension using the hub motor comprise a hub motor suspension main body, the hub, a motor box, the suspension and a refrigeration device, wherein the periphery of the hub motor suspension main body is fixedly connected with the hub, the peripheral outer wall of the hub is connected to the peripheral outer wall of the hub motor suspension main body, the motor box is fixedly connected to the inner side of the middle of the hub, the peripheral outer wall of the motor box is connected with the inner side inner wall of the middle of the hub, and the middle of one end of the motor box is in lap joint with the suspension. According to the suspension, through a damping mechanism formed by a damping strut and a damping spring, the stability effect of the suspension itself can be well improved; the refrigeration device can ensure stable operation of a motor in the motor box, and a certain protectionand prevention effect on the motor is achieved; and for the hub, when a tire is installed, the contact area between a tire mounting groove and the tire can be effectively expanded through a limiting ring on the inner side of the hub, the firmness degree of the joint between the tire and the tire mounting groove is improved, and a wide development prospect in the future is achieved.
