Gear reduction has significant advantages over hub motors.
Another good point where hub motors lose big time.
Pretty much all your electric vehicle motors with regen are synchronous AC motors.
If you know how a synchronous AC motor works, how's that going to go into a hub motor that's exposed to the elements?
