You are right.
The mini is hauling about 65 pounds per wheel, according to that article. My tire/rim combo is about 25. I think on a vehicle larger than a mini it would be more practical... but aren't we all trying to get away from larger vehicles? I suppose there will always be a need for pickup trucks and people haulers so that would be a good place for hub motors - beefier suspension and more %weight in the body.
