In-wheel motors are bad. They increase unsprung weight and don't have gearing.
Also the in-wheel motors mess up the steering geometry, contact patch and the regen + traditional brake torque vectors.
They're something you see in concept vehicles, but there's
a many good reasons no production vehicles use them.
