I appreciate the time you spent in your response Ian and the rational consideration you give to the subject. If you have not already seen this my Patent #7677208 (US only) was issued close to 3 years ago this March. The design started out with a decent understanding of the advantages of in wheel drives which when driven hydraulicly mean lower RPM and higher efficiency. The stroke is adjustable from the central 0 position (neutral or freewheel) to one in either direction, giving forward, neutral and reverse (regenerate) positions in individual wheels without any need for any other power modulation, or clutching function. The drives can be directly connected to the accumulator.
