Some military vehicles have the brakes installed on the output shafts of the differential (see the hmmwv), but this would defeat the advantages of using hub motors in the first place.
I suspect you can only install these motors on the rear wheels so the front wheels can have normal brakes.
- gandreani 9y agoYes, putting brakes on shafts of differentials is probably a pain to design for. Finding space would probably be impossible for most applications of this since the vehicles would probably use Forward Wheel Drive
