An electric power-assist drive assembly for propelling a vehicle having a frame and at least one spoked wheel includes a rotatable driving ring supporting a plurality of magnets and mountable to the wheel; a stationary stator supporting a plurality of electromagnets and mountable to the frame proximate to the wheel for overlapping the electromagnets and the magnets; and a control assembly mountable to the frame, stator, or any part of the vehicle for delivering electric energy to the stator to rotate the driving ring; wherein rotation of the driving ring propels rotation of the wheel. A vehicle including the electric power-assist drive assembly and a method of propelling a vehicle using the electric power-assist assembly are included.
