Lightweight scooter wheel

The wheel has a metallic hub (12), made of aluminum, steel or cast iron, carrying either a drum brake (15) (in the case of a drum brake) or a disc brake, and a rim (13) made of plastic, which is equipped with spokes (14) (made of plastic). The rim (13) is attached to the hub (12) by screws. The hub (12) may be finned to promote the dispersion of the heat during the braking. A heat cut-off element is located between the hub and the attached rim. The heat-cut off element is constituted by at least one bushing (18,19) made of a heat-resistant plastic element placed on a fastening bolt (17) arranged between the hub (12) and the rim (13). At least one bushing (18,19) is profiled so as to form at least one seat to receive an annular extension toward the inside (20) of the spokes (14) and of the a central connecting body (14') of the rim (13). At least one spacer (21) is interposed in the presence of flat washers (22) and elastic washers (23) to ensure stable positioning.
