    But you need a CV or Universal on that drive shaft to accommodate suspension travel (or steering if needed on that wheel).

      What for? The axis of the driveshaft would always be parallel to the axis of the wheel and perpendicular to the axis of the motor.

      Look at this hand drill:

      The hand crank is the electric motor. If you rotate the drill about the hand crank axis, you don’t change any angles between the drivetrain components and don’t need CV or universal joints
