An electric drive for an electric or hybrid vehicle has an electric motor, with
which a vehicle wheel is drivable, for instance via an articulated shaft. The the
electric drive is embodied additionally with a mechanically actuatable wheel brake,
which is actuatable by the electric motor selectively for driving the vehicle wheel
via a shiftable distributor gear. The invention has the advantage that the electric
motor provided for driving the vehicle wheel is simultaneously used for actuating
the wheel brake (24) as well.
