    Would not be suitable for performance motorcycles if they decided to extend out past the 4 wheel market because the unsprung weight is increased so much, but I really like that they are adding In wheel motors to the rear wheels of courier companies EXISTING fleets of vehicles so they can go into ULEZ Zones etc by switching to electric only.

    There is also a feature on their defender 110 in this months Land Rover Life Magazine.
