Direct drive! Yes!
The motor's are great because they can operate above 11,000 RPM. Which means your motor requires little power to rebuild its EM field above 5,000RPM after a restart (acceleration). A direct drive motor is also very easy to install in trucks because you can use the bed to hold the batteries and controll/charging equipment with the motor beneath. With all equipment on hand and good instructions you could convert a Dodge Dakota pickup over the course of two weekend with two people.
