Without start stop on the gas engine these motors wouldn’t do much but be expensive decorations.
Further what isn’t stated is that as you bounce along, drive in mud, salt, slush you damage and corrode the hub motors.
The only place I have seen a hub motor work is on an ebike where the rider can “push off” to get going
