All is valid. In a car you have something called a differential. If, you think of a turn, the outside wheel has a longer trip to make. The differential applies the power to the outside wheel. An electric bike, on a two wheel electric bike there is one power wheel. On a three wheel bike to work properly especially those capable of higher speeds, you need to have the power to the front wheel which makes handling difficult or have a differential controlling the rear wheels.
Point is simple. Be sure to ride before you buy.
