1. Drive system for transport devices comprising:
at least two drive wheels aligned on a common first axis, the drive-wheel axis of rotation, which is angled relative to a second axis, the pendulum axis, and a third axis, the pivot axis, is likewise arranged at an angle relative to the first and second axes;
at least one wheel bearing;
at least one rim of at least one of the drive wheels is mounted by means of the at least one wheel bearing;
at least one drive of at least one of the drive wheels is arranged within the wheel bearing; and
at least one braking device coupled to at least one of the drive wheels, in that the at least one braking device is a disk brake, the at least one braking device including a first brake pad, a brake disk, a second brake pad, and a brake cylinder with a cavity configured and arranged to receive a brake medium pressure and whose volume can thereby be varied, and in that at least the first brake pad is configured and arranged to be moved as a function of the volume of the brake cylinder.
