Its a good idea.
Friday I have a trip to that part of Wales on the bike
(Classic electrics)
For me a classic car has been a thing of beauty, that oozes history with bad brakes, unreliable, smelly etc.
I think this solves it.

I am getting ready to go get my '76 Ford from the shop in a bit and was thinking how nice it would be to drop an electric motor into that thing. Love the look of that concept.

The apparently failing Lordstown truck uses hub motors. I'm interested in that tech for conversions.
