For sure he's not selling the idea, as the info has been out there for years and nobody has bothered to market it. If there was any significant demand, the Chinese would be on it like white on rice, and companies like Crystalyte would be filling containers with 5lb pancake motors.
Until someone who is actually respected in the ebike community (hello Knoxie!) gives some unbiased test results, there's not much to go by except claims from a raving lunatic with a few screws loose.
