Whenever I go to San Diego, I always take the train; & I always wonder why they use steel wheels instead of the regular alloy rims & tires. When I did my “research”, I discovered that they used steel wheels to lessen rolling friction. Say you’re driving on the freeway, only 25% of the engine’s […]

Let’s start off with something cool: if you put an in-wheel motor behind all four of your OEM 2005 Range Rover wheels, you’ll have more than 600 horsepower.

The technical definition is : “The ratio of rotational speed of a braked wheel to that of an equivalent free-rolling wheel, expressed as a percentage. The slip is equal to the speed of a brake wheel divided by the speed […]
