Abstract
This paper deals with the optimization of the design of electrical wheels. A new approach is used that generates the optimization software. It allows the design to be made with a more elaborate analytical model of the structu re chosen for the wheel. Thus, it is possible to obtain a very efficient op timization program. This will be illustrated on the example of an electrica l wheel for a bicycle.
