Trailer with electric hub-motors
Recently we bought a travel trailer. It's small and pretty lightweight, but still causes the fuel consumption to go up significantly. I had the idea of what would happen if the trailer had in-hub electric wheels that would help with acceleration while driving. It seems pretty sensible and would probably revolutionize the travel trailer industry, cutting feel costs in half or more.
However I am unknowledgeable about wheels with electric hub motors, so Im just curious about what people here think. Is this a pipe dream? Or is it possible, and how complex would it be?
