Hey Metro,

Why is a bigger motor better for real-wheel drive? Are you just going off the experience that you couldn't fit the bigger motor in the Forkenswift?

I am considering converting a rear-wheel drive Miata. I was going to start a new thread asking about advantage/disadvantage of front vs rear-wheel drive on an electric car.
