White Motor Concepts “Big Hole Technology”


Recommended Posts

Stumbled across this article from White Motor Concepts, a UK company where they are testing out the concept of “big hole technology”  to get better range out of an Electric Vehicle version of a Yamaha Tricity 300. 

 

WMC 300E+ (Tricity using Big Hole Tech):

At the bottom there is a survey trying to gauge interest in such a machine. I submitted a note of interest as a current Niken GT owner (more from whether an EV version of the Niken could utilize something like this though but interested nonetheless.)

Is something like this what you had in mind?

Apologies to the OP for side tracking. 🙇

But seriously, it's an interesting concept, and I can see all kinds of potential for various aero configs.  Cool project to follow and see how it evolves.
