Of course, it's not a like-for-like comparison because Bafang is not pedal-assist, but still, those numbers are very low. Also, repeating myself, 26/4 tyres take the center of gravity too high for speeds over 30mph. Cannot find total weight of this boke.
I also don't understand why there's a chain guide on the rear wheel. You don't need those with Rohloff. With Rohloff, you might want a front chain guide, but generally the chain just doesn't move. Weird, maybe someone can explain this design to me.
