I have built a rear wheel electric with two motors one for each rear wheel. The motors have separate controllers and both are controlled by a single throttle. This throttle sets a torque for the motors . In a straight line the torque is the same for each but when cornering the torque setting is still the same but I am trying to work out how the system works . It does corner perfectly with no dragging or slipping at the wheels, it handles as though it had a single drive via a differential.
Can anyone explain this? My thought is that because the controllers set a torque then the speed of each wheel is automatically set to make the torque equal.. Ideas anyone on this. The idea of two motors is that it avoids the weight and cost of a differential.
Thanks.
