1. A drive train assembly adapted to control and optimize running state performance of at least two wheels of an electric vehicle, comprising:

  • at least two front steerable wheels and at least two rear non-steered wheel, each wheel individually coupled with a motor;

    a drive means electrically coupled with each motor for driving the coupled wheel independent of other wheel of said electric vehicle; and

    an embedded controller device and a memory having executable instructions to control and coordinate varying frequency of inverters attached to vehicle wheel motors based on driver inputs including steering angle, acceleration, brake force, and feedback value as input parameters from each wheel thereby selectively controlling speed of wheels resulting in coordinated driving performance of the vehicle.
