In an all wheel drive system, whichever wheel/motor has traction will naturally consume the most power. Any load balancing needs only computerized/electronic control. Again, no mechanical gearing/linkages required. The drive train can literally have four moving parts. The wheels over the fixed motors. Diesel electric locomotives have already worked this way for decades. The diesel engines are only connected to generators.

Actually, for an electric motor driven vehicle, gearing is optional. In a 'normal' car the gearing matches the motor's most efficient/powerful band of performance to the speed you're trying to go. An electric motor can deliver as much torque at zero RPM as a few thousand RPM, assuming you can push enough current through it to get it started. The greatest limitation on electric vehicles are still the batteries, but that's changing.

Ill always argue. I've Been mad about this for 30 years.you still years behind,,where is the self charging system?? not to mention the 4 wheeled motored system?? I dont see the power gearbox yet anywhere.The motor is not the key its the power gearbox.So get to work ,make the power gearbox, change the way the world travels.And remember im watching..

How much do they cost ?

I can make a CD-ROM spin at about 20,000 RPM, does that mean I can get 100mph riding that motor??? But still 100W for 40mph w/o load!! I'm impressed.

Do you think they may understand that?Why is it that they don't see this is a free spin with no load?

TommeyLeeReed (July 24, 2008 at 3:24 pm)

Real answer are better dc motors, not hub motors.Hub motors have very little power output, compare to dc brush type ones.

Just because the free spin motor goes that fast, this does no say that you will go 40mph with a load.

How does it go so fast? my 36v only goes 19mph as do most. I have never heard of one going over 22mph

And the running costs on those gas motors kinda sucks. It costs at least ten times this.(Also, at 15-20 whrs/mile, and higher capacity batteries of >750 whrs, >37.5 miles or >60.3504 kilometers is more than adequate.)
