Motor per wheel sounds interesting. As I understand it’s not ideal for handling because of unsprung weight. Maybe that will change? Would be very excited about

- nomel 3y agoMotor per wheel doesn’t have to be in the wheel. Could be through a very compact axle, maybe with a fixed gear box to get the angle right.
- hamburglar 3y agoWhat would be wild (and probably wildly impractical) is an inductive coupling between the motor (inboard, unsprung) and the wheel.
- nomel 3y agoWhat if the shock absorber piston shaft were actually an axle?
- travisporter 3y agoHuh I know nothing about cars. How would the angle affect the gear box? Isn’t that just for getting the right torque ratio?
