well take a good look at the pics again, you will see the sign "disabled parking space" I understand the disability now! LOL

awd transmission? why even bother for a transmission at all? The e-motor has full torque from rpm=0 until full rpm. That is why you could put an e-motor on every wheel. Despite of the post I read about two e-motors on let's say your frontwheels would act like a welded axel.. That aint the case because the e-motor will always have it's tolerance in the rpm due the curve that you make. And if you even worry about that, why not put a controller in that keeps tracks of the angle your frontwheel make (to turn) and let it adjust the rpm of the inner-curve wheels with regard to the outher ones. Electronics have no limits, it's just how we use them Marcel hobbyguy (in electronics & metalworking)

hi all, I am pretty new on this website but I have been following the discussion about EV's for a pretty long time now. The ZX conversion is really a state of the art project! I am wondering if it would a idea to remove more from the old design (internal combustion engine related parts) and put the drive directly on the wheels? Every power transmission part normally is a loss of energy (I mean every coupler/coupling) and removing parts/weight is what one is trying to achieve I think. How do you guys think about a DC motor on both of the powered wheels or even on all four of them? Just sharing my thoughts here, but I think this is what this forum is all about Kind regards from the Netherlands, Europe, Marcel
