I like the Olli best of all the shuttle buses I've seen. Mainly for the interior.

Seventeen posts since yesterday? The idea is a non-starter and here's why: The motor/wheel has to integrate into the rest of the architecture. The struts, arms and springing don't go away. Take a step back, and the solution appears to be to put the motor at the end of a swing arm, with internal gearing.

No high unsprung mass and with two/four motors you get torque vectoring.
