In this video we examine the Donut Motor which is a hubless in wheel design that claims to revolutionize everything from electric bikes to heavy duty trucks. We go deep into the engineering behind this radical design and explain how the radial flux and hubless architecture actually works.
We also look back at the history of this technology to understand why Porsche abandoned a similar idea back in 1900. The video covers the major engineering challenges such as unsprung mass and cooling and explains why power density is so difficult to manage without a gearbox. We look at real world testing through the Verge motorcycle and compare this technology to competitors like Deep Drive and YASA who are building axial flux motors for supercar companies.
Is this the future of direct drive or are there hidden flaws that make it impractical for the masses. We analyze the physics and the market to see if this design can truly become mainstream or if it will remain a niche high end product. Watch the full video to understand the science of the next generation of motor technology.
