Am I missing something but why is the gearbox before the motor? I'd love an ebike that could haul me up a col at 5kmph
nice to see more gearbox motors. hopefully this turns out to be good.
A mid-mount gearset is new to me. I wonder how the belt drive behaves when driven slower and with more torque than an equivalent setup using rear hub gears. On the flip side, the tighter integration with the motor could mean the motor can internally rev higher, to prevent lugging and keep the motor running healthily.
Like the Pinion MGU? You can probably find tests on YouTube, praising everything but the weight.
