I meant that each motor that these people supply, (it was claimed in the post), as being 23kg each of the two in wheel motors.

Now, they may very well be legitimte, but it raised serious questions to legitimacy, when the fellow claimed in his response that the in wheel motors used, are 650hp. Was not clear if this is each wheel, or total power of both motors. Either way, that is far fetched. Especially considering that the poser was did not imply anything out of the ordinary of the motor, and was stressing more the storage system as being unique. Just to put things into perspective; 650 Hp, is roughly 484kiloWatts. I was looking at a motor/ generator very recently, 450HP, which weighs about 200kg (aprox 440lb)-- It was claimed the wheels were less than 23 kg each. (about 50lb each). The storage unit and electronics apparently weigh less than one wheel. ...... I may be doing these people injustice, but this raised my concerns about the claims...... If you are an investor, make sure you research VERY WELL before this. If you dont believe me, just do some more reasearch on cars with electric motors. even from some of the big boys using inwheel motors, have used only 25kw in wheel motors (4 wheels).. so, be really cautious before dishing out your money. i read in their forums a reply to people asking questions.
