Here’s a single motor, dual drive emtb

Only applies for low power and stiff bushings. When I had a motor die on my Kaly, it was borderline unrideable even without the drag of the other motor.
The setup type impacts low power vs high power setups differently. No doubt something of that caliber wouldn’t work as well.
This type (fairly low power) doesn’t have much of an impact on sideways pull. I am running 85a bushings and don’t have issues. Still, I can make it to low 30s (mph) with a 1:2 gearing.
When full power is applied, the board can throw me off if I’m not careful. Plenty of torque.

Don’t forget about the kilometer long hangers on the Kaly versus some 145mm hangers.
Does that actually make a difference?
I used to run single motor on a low power build and I had no issues. 184mm hanger single 5065
The longer hangers seem to have more torquesteer

I’m sure it’s very noticeable in high power builds, as well as breaksteer.
I imagine having the motor symmetrically mounted between both motor mounts is ideal, and would reduce our eliminate this.
I was talking about when only one wheel is powered.
Yea, I know.
So torquesteer is not an issue on your high powered 1wd builds? Not even on The Red One | Lance Mountain | TB130 | 12S LiFePO4 | VESC 6
When I’m riding this board the drive wheel usually breaks traction before I feel any significant torquesteer
