Why choose a hub motor
Each type of hub motor has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the variety of motor types is a testament to the rapid development of technology. There must be a driving force behind this. Why are so many people talking about hub motors? This is closely related to the advantages of the hub motor. Its main advantages can be summarized as follows:
The increase in the operating efficiency of the hub motor is due to the elimination of the mechanical transmission structure of the reducer, the transmission, the fork speed, etc., and the weight of the chassis is greatly reduced. At the same time, the transmission loss is avoided and the system efficiency is improved. This positive and negative, so that the cruising range can be increased by 10%.
The chassis is greatly simplified, and the hub motor makes it possible to drive four wheels independently. It is no longer necessary to set up mechanical components such as axles and drive shafts, and the four wheels are completely decoupled mechanically. This greatly simplifies the headaches of the chassis, such as NVH and dynamics. The reduced system complexity will reduce the development cycle of the chassis, from 3 years to 1 year or even shorter.
Car handling will be more flexible, four-wheel independent drive is definitely the gospel of racing enthusiasts, all kinds of difficult movements become possible, four wheel power distribution can be dynamically adjusted, can greatly improve the stability and dynamics of vehicles under different roads. On the other hand, the four-wheel drive can achieve in-situ steering and lateral translation, so there is no need to worry about parking problems for novices.
