But you need a CV or Universal on that drive shaft to accommodate suspension travel (or steering if needed on that wheel).
Suspension movement still requires flex in the shaft. There's no way around it unless the engine moves with the suspension
Now imagine there is a handle sticking out of the crankshaft that needs to rotate around the shaft with the hand crank as it gets turned. That is the motor.
The video never showed the motor moving along with wheels turning, only the up and down part. In fact, when they showed space savings they showed the motors as stationary with no clear way to turn.
