Elaphe Propulsion Technologies Ltd. believes in wheels so strongly that they spin themselves, without any external forces or transmission, just by the cleanest source of energy – electricity.

In early human history most of the vehicles didn’t even have motors aboard, they were either pulled or moved in a different way.

Later, with the invention of steam engine, engines were built in locomotives and some of the road vehicles. With further inventions and hard work a more compact internal combustion engines found their place in most of the vehicles.

As a logical next step, with latest innovations, the motors are getting closer and closer to the place where they are required – in the wheel itself. READ MORE
