	%X the paper presents the optimization results for several
electrical machines dedicated for powered electric wheel-chairs. The
optimization, using the Hook-Jeeves algorithm, was employed based
on a design approach which takes into consideration the road
conditions. Also, through numerical simulations (based on finite
element method), the analytical approach was validated. The
optimization approach gave satisfactory results and the best suited
variant was chosen for the motorization of the wheel-chair.
