One or two motors(not used on the hubs) can do the job. Interesting motors, designed by Elaphe. External rotor, a less heat-sensitive set up, can use cheaper rare-earth magnets. Rotor/Stator gap swept area looks large at good radius, should be torquey. Looks scalable.
4 hub motors, well controlled, on an autoX EV not-a-shifter cart would have an >1 pax (and be thought unsportsmanlike). Performance may have been a Lordstown aspiration. At least truck tank turns was.
But, I've been reading the CAM pax change thread - Some want a new ST class for muscle - Not enough want to race with an outrageous build.
Long way of thinking 4 electric motors is overreach.
