The handling effects would render it more tempting to fit the motors internally, in a way similar to how the front brakes of a Citroën 2CV were mounted. IIRC the BYD electric buses which were tested in my hometown had the rear electric motors mounted internally, one driving each rear wheel like hub-motors would.
