I've been looking at towing an EV conversion I've done behind an RV. Two of the ways of doing this (flat towing or a tow dolly) keep the rear wheels on the ground, and therefore require a transmission that is able to operate while the engine isn't running.
In my case, the motor (series-wound, not permanent magnet) is coupled directly to the driveshaft - the transmission has been removed. Is there any concern with turning a motor when the motor is not powered? Is this doable or should I look at removing the driveshaft before towing?
