Those tires....THOSE TIRES!!!
Anyway, one motor per wheel? Not a good idea.
It might be a good idea. Efficiency of 1 larger engine is higher than 4 small ones, but think about the mechanical losses in the former; a four-wheel drive needs 3(!) differentials!
Synchronization is another thing, and I don't want to dream of what will happen if one of the engines hickups...
Exactly. Synchronization will be difficult in this.
I think synchronisation will be quite capably provided by the road surface.
Do you have images of one motor/wheel going slow, and another one spinning out? If you put identical amounts of power into two identical motors, they'll spin at pretty much exactly the same speed.
As long as the motors are fine, it's fine. Some motors tend to lock up when they burn out, that would suck.
"Some motors tend to lock up when they burn out, that would suck"
That's what we like to call a 'failure indicator'. How else would you know it's burnt out?
What if it that happens when you're driving at a considerably high speed?
Superhobo: There is no high speed. It's top speed is 50mph with a 90lb driver, going down hill with a brisk tailwind.
Hehe, well, that can still mess up a tire or two.
