[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a motor for an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes a front fork 100 and a wheel 101. The motor is mounted on the front fork 100, and the wheel 101 is mounted on the outside of the motor. The motor includes a side cover 200, a fixing component, a motor shaft 201, a first connector 202, and a second connector 203. The fixing component is mounted on the side cover 200, and the motor shaft 201 is mounted on the fixing component. Both ends of the motor shaft 201 are connected to the front forks 100 on both sides, respectively. One end of the motor shaft 201 has a mounting groove, and the first connector 202 is located in the mounting groove and connected to the wire of the motor shaft 201. One end of the second connector 203 extends into the mounting groove and is plugged into the first connector 202, and the other end is connected to the controller wire of the electric vehicle.
[0032] In this embodiment, the motor includes a side cover 200, a fixing component, a motor shaft 201, a first connector 202, and a second connector 203.

[0049] In this embodiment, both the first connector 202 and the second connector 203 are equipped with a phase wire 206 and a signal wire 207. The first connector 202 and the second connector 203 transmit electrical signals through the phase wire 206 and the signal wire 207. Correspondingly, the second connector 203 and the controller also transmit electrical signals through the phase wire 206 and the signal wire 207. Therefore, the controller can transmit voltage and command electrical signals to the motor through the phase wire 206 and the signal wire 207, thereby ensuring the normal rotation of the motor.
[0050] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the motor also includes a stator 208, which is mounted on the motor shaft 201.
[0051] In this embodiment, the motor also includes a stator 208, which is directly fixedly mounted on the motor shaft 201. The stator 208 can generate a rotating magnetic field, which cooperates with the motor shaft 201 to ensure the normal operation of the motor.
