A feature of hub motors (which seem to coming to dominance in the electrically augmented pedal bicycle arena) is the considerable mechanical simplicity and...
IMHO, neither the brushed nor brushless hub motors are nearly as simple or have as low of a parts count as a variable-reluctance motor. The only issue is that...
