    Transmission isn’t for low end but high end rpm. 4 separate motors doesn’t help if the motor can’t spin fast enough.

      There’s no way a typical BLDC/ACIM can’t spin at the tire’s RPM. If you’ve got a 16” tire then at 100mph you’re spinning at roughly 1000rpm; these motors typically spin 3.5x that fast.
