Wheel, motor, and motor clamp design

We have to decide the diameter of the wheel and compute motor requirements. Here, we are giving a typical motor and wheel that we can use if the design is successful:

The motor design can vary according to the motor selection; if necessary, this motor can be taken as the design and can change after simulation. The value in the motor diagram can vary according to the speed and torque of the motors. This is the gear assembly of the motor.

The following diagram shows a typical wheel that we can use with a diameter of 90 cm. The wheel with a diameter of 86.5 mm will become 90 mm after placing the grip:

The motors need to be mounted on the base plate. To mount, we need a clamp that can be screwed onto the plate and also connect the motor to the clamp. The following diagram shows a typical clamp that we can use for this purpose. It's an L-shaped clamp with which we can mount the motor on one side and fit another side to the plate:
