I don't see anything to be skeptical about; they seem to have done a lot of work and research.
One curiosity for me is whether putting the motor in the wheel will work well. It's important to keep sprung weight as low as possible for suspension reasons. Then again, many (most?) electrical vehicles will be run on smooth roads.
- namibj 7y agoThese motors are light. If you integrate them with the wheel to the point where you mount the tire to it instead of to the rim, you should be close to current mass, possibly breaking even (depending on how much of the axle/differential is unsprung mass, and how heavy the flexible torque transmission ends up being).
