It sounds like a hoax... How can such a small thing pull a 1,5 Tons vehicule ? And why is there so few data about this ? At the same time I really want to try this, please let this be real!

New EV supercars are using similar axial flux motors. I was hoping someone would come up with this because spinning the axles directly with wheel mounted motors seems like a much easier retrofit than replacing the engine and gear box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICTi2Z_X5Kw
