Hi everyone im new on the Ev forum my name is Jan im from Holland and im working as a tig welder in exclusive yachts.
Now ive had the idea of making a dune buggy for a while now but recently i've been thinking of doing an electro motor build.
The thing im mostly wondering about is what kind of motor? i would like to do direct drive so no gearbox to keep a really low weight (spaceframe tubular body).
now should i put the motor shaft directly onto the differential or should i gear it?
And what kind of motor would be ideal for a light car?
Also been thinking four wheel drive maybe but im guessing that it would be a waste of energy if the motor has to spin two differentials instead of one?
Hoping to get some answers this way 🙂
