But why limit only to cars? Can this be used for motorcycles, e-bikes, electric buses, train wheels, e-unicycles, electric golf carts, etc?

There are probably a range of application where in-wheel makes perfect sense.

Donut Labs markets a whole suite of axial flux motors. Sized from scooters through to large trucks. But no public pricing.

Motorcycles I could imagine.

Do e-bikes really need significantly more power than they have? They already run arguably dangerously fast for their application. Is efficiency not the primary target there?
