I have seen a two-wheeled two-wheel drive motorcycle that was gas powered and built with tires like an ATV for wilderness riding (kind of ungainly). I have not seen any commercially available hub motors capable for standard MC weight and highway speeds. Perhaps there is someone out there that knows of the manufacturer that has done some of these concept car propulsion systems or moon rover PSs. Gotta couple Mil? lol
Still two wheel drive sounds interesting. Curious to know how it would handle and power divide. Might be easier using hydraulic motors but the size/weight not possible in a MC.
