I agree and this would explain what happens with diff. Rear end when you lift up one wheel. I will measure the torque going to each wheel and see what happens going around a corner. I am still trying to tie the real world to the physics.

The most efficient system is for a high speed gas engine with a converter to deliver the electrical output as needed. This is because the size and weight for a given generator power go down with RPM. Conversion of the electrical output from the generator by electronic converter is over 90%...

I have built a rear wheel electric with two motors one for each rear wheel. The motors have separate controllers and both are controlled by a single throttle. This throttle sets a torque for the motors . In a straight line the torque is the same for each but when cornering the torque setting is...
