What's the advantages as well as the drawbacks to this suspension design?   10-06-2008, 11:36 AM   #6 graham Super Moderator     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Aptos, California Posts: 1,551 Quote: Originally Posted by Takumi Okay, so why did they choose this suspension setup? What's the advantages as well as the drawbacks to this suspension design? I have been wondering the same thing. I am hoping that this suspension set up overcomes some of the inherent problems with hub motors being "unsprung weight". This might end up making hub motors more useful going forward.   10-06-2008, 11:58 AM   #7 doug Head Moderator     Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stanford, California Posts: 3,604 I figured it's because Michelin is a tire company and their trying to branch out some.   10-07-2008, 03:42 AM   #8 dpeilow Super Moderator     Join Date: May 2008 Location: Winchester, UK Posts: 2,961 Venturi Volage: Watch out, Tesla! - Crave at CNET.co.uk Personally I think this thing looks great - it really shows what can be done when you are free from having to design around a conventional ICE drivetrain. (Although I don't think their Roadster range is all that correct...)
