Hub motors are being talked about again. I hope the design issues have been figured out. They may not last as long as normal electric motors ... but for at least 3 sets of tires?
Unsprung weight is a bit above my mechanical understanding. I've read discussions and it appears that unsprung weight should be minimized ... but that's not what the aptera design appears to do
