""The integration of Donut Lab's revolutionary in-wheel motor technology represents a significant leap for what PACES can offer the automotive world," said Neil Yates, CEO of WATT Electric Vehicles. "Its motors, inverter, and software systems, perfectly complement our lightweight platform philosophy. The direct, fine control of the individual wheel speeds brings an agility and that is perfectly complemented by the low mass and inertia of our chassis technology. This skateboard can produce vehicles that will set new benchmarks for EV handling.""
""WATT EV's PACES platform provides the perfect canvas to showcase the full potential of our advanced motor technology," said Marko Lehtimäki, CEO of Donut Lab. "The exceptional low mass of PACES allows our high-torque, high-power-density in-wheel motors to truly shine, delivering a driving experience that would be impossible with heavier platforms. When you combine our direct-drive precision control with WATT's lightweight engineering expertise, you create something genuinely transformative, a vehicle architecture that's lighter, more efficient, more powerful, and infinitely more engaging to drive.""
Donut Lab's in-wheel motor technology integrates with WATT EV's PACES skateboard platform, combining motors, inverter, and software with a lightweight chassis. The platform's low mass and inertia amplify the motors' high torque and power density, enabling direct, fine control of individual wheel speeds for enhanced agility. The combination of direct-drive precision control and lightweight engineering yields a vehicle architecture that is lighter, more efficient, more powerful, and more engaging to drive. The integrated system aims to produce vehicles that set new benchmarks for EV handling and deliver driving experiences not possible with heavier platforms.
