As a cycle courier, how many miles do you envisage riding per day? I can't help but think that a mid-drive is a really bad idea due to the increased maintenance requirements.

The best way to minimise TCO per mile of any bike is to run it into the ground until it's no longer economically viable to fix. Then sell it.

The only thing that makes a brushless motor rated for a particular voltage is the fact that its winding pairs nicely with a commonly available battery voltage to give a specific legislatively limited speed, e.g. 25kph in the EU, 20mph in the US, etc. This voltage rating is purely for the...
