I'd REALLY like to see that PR hack post a bond until independent testing shows That much of an improvement. Compared to geared motors, wheel motors are heavier, due to the slow action across the lines of magnetism, and heavier, because of the need to withstand road shock, which requires either more material or more power-robbing clearance. Reduction drives can be 98% efficient.
