Summary: | An electric powertrain, a vehicle using an electric powertrain, and a method of manufacturing a vehicle having an electric powertrain are disclosed. The electric powertrain balances the ability of the vehicle to accept a given load, while at the same time affording the vehicle with an acceptable level of maneuverability. By selectively sizing the ratio of the inertia of the electric motor to the inertia of the vehicle, the optimum balance between these two competing concerns may be reached. Moreover, by optionally ensuring the Stemler Factor is less than or equal to the inertia ratio, the proper balance between load acceptance and maneuverability is attained as well. |
