Mounting the motor so that it drives a rim-mounted ring gear (via a small pinion shaft) lowers the required torque to get the wheel spinning. It also greatly increases the electric motor's top speed.

Innovation is happening fast in the electric motor engineering space. The car biz is still on the steep part of the learning ...

thus reverse can be selected by pulling the lever. A simple button switch applies power to the motor, meaning that the machine can travel sedately backwards on electric power. We’re not entirely ...
