Interesting to see the manufacturing process of a large ebike motor factory in China.

I agree and am impressed with their "moto" style. Their gravel bike looks good too. I would just change the bar arrangement to the flat variety which I did to a Salsa La Cruz. I don't think many individuals realize that the "e" industry is becoming very "machine intensive" and the Chinese are up there in technology. My recent DIY 1000w kit is superb; fast, powerful and quiet.
