An electric drive contains an electric motor for generating a driving force and a transmission for transmitting the driving force. The electric motor has a motor housing, a rotor arranged in the motor housing, and a motor shaft which bears the rotor. The transmission has at least two transmission elements which are coupled in terms of the transmission of force. The electric drive furthermore contains a drive housing for accommodating the electric motor and the transmission. Moreover, the motor shaft is mounted by at least a first radial bearing and a second radial bearing and braced transverse to its axis of rotation. The second radial bearing being arranged radially offset to the axis of rotation.
