Would rideability and enjoyability go against hub motors?
Slower accelleration, poor suspension performance and poor related steering through corners?
Would feel like lead in your shoes and your big stomach all gone.
I'm already barely hitting 60mph nowadays. Hanging it out thru a corner is the only fun I have nowadays (plus its a good hypermiling technique)
Or would a hubmotor used boringly to maintain speed (like on the freeway) rather than accellerate from slow(ICE does that) have benefits over axles.
Like inertia, kinda a pendulum wheel like a clock.
Hubless electric wheels must be expensive to build.
Would a geared electric motor give better performance than the single speed hub motor, mitigating drivetrain losses? Or are hub motors good to go thru speeds 0-100km/hr.
My single speed electric scooter (belt driven) groans at slow speeds and over revs at the top speed of 27km/hr...
