I like the bike very much.
Whose motor is it?
How is the middle motor electric bikes works in the future ?
The market seems to move to lightweight bikes, sub 20 kgs.
The biggest problem for crank driven mid motors is the power to weight ratio.
The gearbox is made of steel, heavy. If it's made in plastic, it can compete well with hub motors.

It's time we saw engineering ceramics used for transmissions, bearings and other parts to help reduce weight.

Dear Trex,this is motor brand is Achive brand. whole bike weight is 23.65kg.
And the gear of the motor is steel,although is heavier than plastic ones,but can use more longer time than the plastic ones,so also have advantage to compare together.Thanks

Dear Cyclezee,you are right. I will discuss with middle motor factory,and to find way if can cut down the weight. But we also need to consider about if the market can accept high price of middle motor ebikes,if yes,then we can find out way to cut down the weight to 20kg.

yes, that's the same sort of motor.
Is your bike fitted with the Shuangye motor? it's very good looking.
