I might be wrong, but I don’t think these motors are intended to be used inside the wheel. That would add a ton of additional requirements in terms of physical durability as well as constrain optimal torque and RPM of the motor design.

I believe the Aptera was originally going to have motors in the wheels... My understanding is the the first version will forego that, as there were challenges i guess, but i think they still to eventually do that.
