> We need an electric motor conversion for our coaches!!!
As I have said before:
Let's start with adding in-wheel electric motors to the rear wheels
first. Like the setup the Michigan Technological University, Houghton,
MI, did. It will give you better traction when moving off any sandy
beaches, and allows us to reduce the city gas consumption, and still
give us the long driving range.

Obviously, hybrid vehicles have been with us for a long time (think
diesel/electric locomotives). They run the diesel at the peak of
efficiency, and power the electric motors to drive the wheels. Efficiency
on these things is very high. But, not for everybody.
Right now, electric vehicles are limited by battery technology and
recharge time, to say nothing about cost per mile.
In Oregon, we have a mega-dairy with 70,000 cows. They have a manure
lagoon right now with over 2 million gallons of manure slurry waiting to
get converted to methane gas on site. Due to sweetheart environmental
deals, the corporation that manages the dairy is allowed to burn that
methane gas to produce electricity on-site and sell it into the hydro power
grid for 10 times what the hydro producers do. Even at that, they only
break even. Wind turbines, same ridiculous deal, they don't make money
either, and in calm weather produce nothing.

Siemens already has an electric motor/disk brake in the well assembly. Ridiculously expensive, but out there. Maybe one of the domestic motor manufacturers could be approached.

We found that the 16" wheels are too small for that type of unit
