Abstract
An improved hybrid drive apparatus with a switched reluctance hub motor. The switched reluctance motor eliminates any drag caused by the existing magnetic fields of the motors used in the prior art by turning off the magnetic fields when not being used. It also is cleaner and more efficient to operate, as any magnetic road dust or debris attracted during operation is dropped or repelled when the magnetic fields are turned off. An improved switched reluctance motor may be used, with a stator ring and rotor ring designed so that the low reluctance flux path does not pass through the full diameter of the rotor or rotor bars.
