The invention describes a mecanum wheel comprising a plurality of rollers each with a rolling surface and an axel and a wheel frame for mounting the rollers with mounting units holding respective axel ends of each roller. Each mounting unit comprise a mounting unit recess with an opening, wherein the mounting unit recess interacts with the respective axel end for locking the roller against movements in directions having a component radially inwards. Each mounting unit further comprise a rebounding roller retaining structure positioned at least partly inside an insertion path causing resistance when the axel end is pushed or pulled past the roller retaining structure into, and out from, a resting position in the mounting unit recess, thus preventing unintended release in a radial outward directed component.
