I'm pretty sure the power going to the one wheel is due to a differential or diff for short. The diff gives power based on what can use the most of it, this is useful for having 1 wheel spin faster around a corner to save tire wear. The problem with diffs is that when offroading if 1 side has significantly less grip its going to give all of the motors thrust to that wheel, due to this technologies such as diff-locks and limited slip diffs exist for offroad vehicles. A diff lock locks the diff making both wheels rotate at the same speed no matter what and a limited slip diff limits the ratio of how much 1 wheel can spin faster than the other. In your case 1 side has ice and the other gravel, the icy wheel is going to start slipping an take all of the engines power to only that wheel.

What you call 'proportional power' -- the industry calls 'torque vectoring' -- is mandatory. I have seat time in a dual motor tadpole Arcimoto that DIDN'T have variable front power, and it was the sketchiest thing I've ever ridden. Not 'Matt Spears' level of sketchy, but sketchy nontheless. ;-)

Iv always wanted to see a electric vehicle that's directly powerd by some kind of motorcycle engine hooked up to a generator. No battery. I was going to suggest just plain gas swapping it. But with hub motors it would be quite difficult and would probably compromise the whole floating thing with driveshafts and such. But say a bussa engine driveing a generator that directly powers the hub motors would probably rip and you'll have all the range you desire.

I think a fun idea would be to cross lake tahoe in it after you get a paramotor or something like that, or maybe find some strong water jets and make sure it doesn't sink. "We put a paramotor on a floating car and crossed Lake Tahoe" or something. Maybe to prevent it from sinking get an emergency CO2 or Nitrogen that fills some ballasts or something quickly incase it does start to go down or have a chase boat that can attach a rope quickly or something. Or hayabusa swap...

Probably can through a generator in there, but you're probably pulling more current from thr battery than the generator is putting in, but all depends how fast you drive it. The motor controller probably has a charger interlock signal, to prevent you driving away with the thing plugged into the wall. Youll have to bypass that signal.

@@MattSpears Not sure it'll actually be true in your particular case but having a generator charging a battery running electric vehicle is one of the more efficient ways to use fossil fuels. The battery basically acts as an energy reservoir allowing you to size the internal combustion engine for the average energy usage rather than having to size it for the maximum energy needed. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

I´d fix the steering first for sure, that should be easily doable, either a dirtbike handlebar in there or just a regular steering wheel. Second i´d look into bigger tires, not much but it needs nobbies for sure. Third i´d try and take off absolutely everything that is styrofoam and build an outer cage around it for obvious reasons if or when you roll down one of those mountains. Fourth, bigger controller, bigger engine, bigger batteries:p
