So you looked and found all the same stuff everyone else did.
Yes we know hub motors do very well in low speed industrial applications with smooth hard surfaces.
No one is saying hub motors don't work great in industrial applications. I use them where I work, they out last the machines they are on because I have never seen nor heard of one being changed.
We are not talking about a low speed industrial application any more when they are put on a car. We are talking about hitting a pot hole at 75 mph and driving on washboarded roads. Water, mud dirt.
It's "not the seals" that are the problem it's the weight of the hub motor trashing the bearings.
Seals aren't the problem, we have sealed bearing units on cars already easily lasting over 200,000 miles.
