....just tested the bafang mid motor at eurobike12 - into production in 2013 - i like. Torquey,smooth and quiet. As we joked at the exhibition, "Bafang is the Bosch of China." For the bucks, i doubt anyone will be able to beat this motor - will come with both/either torque sensor and speed sensor inside - separate controller - if the number of ebike producers that saw at eurobike relates to the number of buyers, then we are in for an explosion, but i fear it is a production/development bubble in the short term. May the cart follow the horse.

Thanks for the info umazooma. I fear you are right and that the choice now far exceeds the market capacity. Something will have to give and I forecast a number of names disappearing over the next two years or so.
