Bottom bracket driven, 350w motor, 350wh lithium-ion battery and cables built into the bike frame, connectors for front and rear lights using the battery, assist proportional to pedal torque, bike computer like controller, 700x32c smooth city tires, disc brakes, and an option to mount an additional 350wh lithium-ion battery on the rear rack.

Where can I get one?

I really think something like this can easily weigh 45 lbs or less. Optibike is pretty close, but I prefer a more efficient and faster design using 700x32c tires.

Very similar to an LAFree Lite, but, if I knew Japanese, I would better know the difference.

What do you mean by "bike computer like controller"?

While the Bionx does provide some basics like speed, trip distance, etc... it doesn't provide all the kinds of data a regular bike computer has. And moreover, it's rather hard to use compared to a regular bike computer, so you end adding a bike computer as well if you want that kind of data.

That just adds more weight (not much of course) and valuable handlebar real estate.

No difference. Giant's bottom bracket drives were made by Panasonic, sadly no more.

The idea that 700c wheels are more efficient than smaller diameter wheels is a myth. You can do just as well with 20" or 26".

edit--- PS, most e-bikes can gain tons of efficiency by improving aerodynamics. Going to a small frontal area style recumbent bike (or even better, one with a fairing like in this thread http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=406832) will save you so much power you'll want bigger heavier less-efficient wheels just for the durability.
