That's true, but that would increase the energy demand, which should be kept at a minimum. I'm wondering what kind of engine you'd need to go 15kph (or 30kph) for 5km. Would 5kW do the job? Any thoughts on that?

That's why we thought about in-wheel motors and about propelling the dead axle like in the V60 you mentioned.
Have you heard of any people who try to develop such things? The fifth wheel basjoos mentioned is an interesting concept. I'd just like to make it look nicer
