S-DRIVE In-Wheel EV Powertrain Solution (CES 2026)
Join Miss GoElectric as she spends some time with Michal Simko, the CTO at S-Drive. They’ve designed a hubless in-wheel axial flux solution which provides high efficiency and weight reduction compared to the most common EV propulsion options. It actually results in a greatly REDUCED parts count and we know that simplicity is the mother of reliability. This inventor bootstrapped the startup himself and arrived at this design after an impressive career, we think you’ll love the story and we hope this video will help the team to find the right partners to commercialize!
