If these pan out, it could be much cheaper to make cars with torque vectoring AWD. And cheaper to make ridiculously quick cars in general.
I'll believe it when I see it, because there are lots of hurdles to overcome. It seems promising though so I'm cautiously optimistic.
Isn't Verge already making motorcycles with this type of motor?
That is what they say in the article.
Ah, I see I missed that single reference while skimming the article.
That sounds as if Musk could soon make an offer to take over the company. Then probably also an out-of-court settlement worth some millions so that he can call himself co-founder as usual. Finally, he could speed off into the sunset on a goddamn cyberbike - hopefully never to be seen again.
They're missing a category for ebikes. Larger and lighter than their scooter motor, but doesn't need to hit 15kw. 3-5kw is plenty. Drone motor doesn't have enough torque for ebikes.
The main reason these motors are so powerful is entirely about high surface area allowing for cooling. For ebikes could have fat tire format but with added fairly thin mag wheel spokes, that allow for high range gear cassettes, or just placing into traditional frame designs.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
