Default what motor

hey i am looking to build something like the killacycle, but with 4 wheels. I am not looking to go as fast as it, but i would like to go in the 2 -3 0-60 times, the car with batteries and motors i want to weigh around 1600 to 2000 pounds. The car is going to be like an Ariel atom, but with one seat. Pretty much a super-lite nemesis but i little bigger. I wounder what motor should i get for it. i am think of either one at each wheel, or just 2 in the back, or one with a transfer case to both back wheels.

ruckus has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Re: what motor

You will need 2 motors and 4wd to achieve that 0-60 time.

Do you have $12,000 for motors/controllers?
Another $7-10,000 for batteries?

It is doable but will be somewhat expensive and quite the engineering project.

Good luck.

I am making 4 wheels EV.2 front and 2 rear tires.but i can't decide how to make rear diferantial system.I mean which way is the most effective?Mechanic or electronic.In mechanic way probably i will use one motor and friction gear meshes electronic way i will use 2 motors and make the diferantial effect by controlling the motors?which way is more efficient?And how can i do the electronic way?
