Protean unveils production in-wheel electric drive system
Good story. Thanks. I sometimes daydream about those lonely wheels dragging behind me ...

I think they're smart to make China the first primary target market. Lots of electric stuff on the road there, and the smog problems are unbelievable.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
