Sounds like you will enjoy the process. Just let us know if you have any more questions!
The PAS system, designing planetary gear to get the torque, choosing the motors,etc. in comparison a hub motor is just get a outrunner motor and fix it on the wheels. Correct me if I am wrong.
After reading @
linberl posts, I am thinking if I should go back to a friction drive build.
