Behold The Hyundai Uni Wheel. Transportation May Never Be The Same

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This isn’t a gearbox. It’s a means of transferring power to the wheel, while having the electric engine sitting right next to the wheel.
Then it's the replacement for one.
No not really either, at least no more than the gearing in an electric car is a gearbox.
A gear box deals with shifting between different gearing factors. This isn’t the case here. Yes, the pace of the engine is geared, fixed, to the pace of the wheel, but that’s the same in many electric cars. Some are connected directly to the wheels but many have a fixed gear.

My apologies, you were right and I was wrong. I didn’t read your original comment well enough.
Respect upvote. Can we have this be our culture in Lemmy?
