Electric Motorised Trailer Abstract An electric in-hub motorised trailer (14) comprises of a chassis, said chassis being supported by at least one pair of electric drivable electric in-hub wheel motors (1) (that are resistant to most elements). The trailer will also house a battery bank (3) (that are resistant to most elements) and a pair of electric in-hub motor controllers (2)(that are resistant to most elements). The battery bank (3) and electric in-hub motor controllers (2) provide power and run the electric in-hub motors (1) when connected to the microcomputer (17)(that are resistant to most elements) housed in the tow vehicle (29). They are also connected to a speed measuring device (20) that will determine the tow vehicle's (29) speed and will in turn control the electric in-hub motor controllers (2) to adjust the electric in-hub motors (1) speed and torque to that of the corresponding wheel speed of the tow vehicle (29), thus driving the trailer (14) at the same road speed as the tow vehicle (29) and will provide assistance to the motion operating in a forwards or reverse direction.
