I had a look at the website of #Elaphe today and I must say I am impressed! They will provide #Aptera with a total turn-key solution wrt to wheel motors, the controls and instrumentation requirements.
What was an eye-opener is that this company would actually be able to provide a complete solution to convert a normal car into an EV as their in-wheel hub motors will fit into the cavity of a normal size tyre rim on the inside. You can then throw out the gearbox engine and most of the drive mechanisms and have a high performance EV!
Brilliant work #APTERA for finding these guys!
EDIT: Only found this other post on the forum on the same subject:
https://www.aptera.us/forum/aptera-tech-questions/wheel-motors
Contains videos and lots more comments.
This Aptera Instagram photo indicates they are using the Elaphe M700 hub motor.
