I’ve contacted RƎE Automotive about a collaboration on my proposed GMC Motorhome EV RestoMod, employing their modular RƎEcorner alternative to the various motor in-wheel systems I’m researching in parallel, for example a relatively new leader out of Germany, DeepDrive Tech.
I drove professionally as a youngster, and to increase range, my thought is to borrow a page from the semi-truck handbook, that is to take advantage of the new suspension and drive to lift one set of bogie tires while cruising.
If RƎE Automotive isn’t interested in collaboration, my course would then be to proceed with the in-wheel design or feasible to adopt their basic drivetrain architecture using the venerable “Industrial Lego” method made possible by RƎE Automotive’s use of many industry standard components.
