There is a very small amount of information in their press release on this link. It's a 350w motor it seems.

thank you Shemoz for digging out their 2014 catalog.
The RL looks nice, 1.9kgs, would suit a lightweight bike, me think.

Yes, they have a 12.8 reduction ratio on these new models, so run internally at high speeds. I would like to see the power curve data on these.

they also have loads of other goodies - like their BB sensors. One of the problems I found when fitting a hub kit is the bottom bracket - often the existing BB has too short spindle to accommodate the pedelec sensor. Add a purpose built bottom bracket into the kit would make the fitting much easier. Do you know where one can buy Bafang sensors and controllers?

If they are selling it only as a 350 watt motor it would not be legal here presumably. Or are they doing what some Chinese manufacturers do and marking them as 250 watts. It does say it's aimed at the European market so why are they making it illegal except for an S pedelec I wonder.
