If you’re gonna go through all this trouble, why not put motors directly into the wheels? Then you can bypass the drivetrain all together and directly power the wheels.
If you cant get by on 2, you might have less power, but you can get better efficiency. With better efficiency you can have a smaller battery for the same range and reduce some of your increased cost that way.

If you put the motor in the wheel you increase the unsuspended mass. Bad for handling and ride quality

4 motors is more expensive than 1 motor and a bunch of gears
Do really need need 4?
