    The video shows how their gears go up down and side to side to perform the function of a cv joint. So whatever that cv looking thing is, it’s not a cv joint.

      If it was just a solid axle going from the motor to the uniwheel you couldn’t steer the car. It doesn’t allow for such movement.

        Looks like it eliminates the engine-side cvd but not the wheel-side.

        The motor could turn with the wheel. You could have a wheel-motor without the excessive unsprung weight of the motor components.
