TheWheel SM500 has a broad range of subtypes depending on its operating circumstances. Although built for city bus transportation the SM500 is also suitable for SUV applications. The length of the motor vary from 345mm to 555mm depending on the torque needed. The payload also can be changed by altering the bearing materials (eg. from aluminium to steel) This also changes the units' weight.
