Hub motors


35KG means 150lb of unsprung weight with two-wheel drive.

In other news, Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Transports used a hinged frame that put the sprung weight and engine on opposite ends of a lever with the passengers in the 'rocking chair'.

These two-speed hub motors in an H-frame suspension with the battery box[es] could give a nice ride in a heavy car.
