Yes, and they are great bikes, don't get me wrong.
But, the BBS01 350W kit at 18A is not strictly road legal as EAPC is it? Nor a hub with 350W rated power? The BBS01 36V 250W cuts it both on and off road.
It's more the efficiency extended by the ability to keep the motor running in it's sweet spot by use of gear selection at the rear wheel by the rider with a mid-drive I like, opposed to the hub motor delivering the power at the axle and then being assisted by the rider through the drivetrain.
Then the ability to configure the motor's power delivery through programming to the individual needs of the rider or even the rider's specific need for that day's ride, i.e. more power for a short 30 mile off-road blast or greater range for a longer day of on-road touring up to say 60 miles, both using the same battery.
Then when it comes to off-road in particular, to not have the weight over the rear axle and instead centralised and low down in the middle of the bike makes for a far nicer ride all-round.
Then over the bumpy stuff (UK road pot-holes included), the rim/spokes do not have such weight to bear. I've had a number of rear hubs over the years, I just find the mid-drive for my style of riding (60% off 40% on road) is by far more preferable.
Hey, I'm a mid-drive addict, what can I say!
