The torque issue would be really easy to fix. The beauty of EVs is everything is computer controlled, so it'd be as simple as programming in a "low" mode by making the motors deliver power/torque on a much more gradual curve relative to pedal input (emulating a traditional gearboxes low range gears). The weight might be less of an issue at that point, although it's still going to be a problem no matter how you slice it
Yes lower RPM of the tires and some sort of electronic locker front and rear would probably make this perform much better.
