1. A rotor carrier for a rotor of an electric machine, comprising:
a pot-shaped base body, having first engagement elements on an outer circumferential surface facing the rotor configured for a positive engagement connection and/or frictional engagement connection between base body and rotor;
an inner circumferential surface remote of the rotor defines receptacles for parts of a clutch over a portion of an axial extension of the inner circumferential surface;
a radially extending bottom by which the pot-shaped base body is connected to a hub;
wherein the pot-shaped base body overlaps only a portion of an axial extension of the rotor,
wherein the rotor carrier comprises a second supporting body having second engagement elements on an outer circumferential surface configured for a positive engagement connection and/or frictional engagement connection between supporting body and rotor,
wherein the second supporting body has a radially extending flange, and
wherein the bottom of the pot-shaped base body and the radially extending flange of the supporting body are connected to one another.
