Feature highlights:

  • Thru-axle and QR compatible
  • Built-in torque arm
  • 11-speed cassettes
  • Integrated cadence PAS sensor
  • Made in Canada

Sadly it didn't get a torque PAS sensor.

If you're in the market for an electric conversion kit and you like the idea of direct-drive hubs, it probably doesn't get better than this.

Oooh, I'm not usually super enticed by e-bike stuff, but this has me wanting to start a conversion kit project...

To add, many of the ebikes sold today diverge too much from normal bicycles. They diverge on weight, geometry, component performance, and overall riding feel. I find that the closest to a normal bike an ebike is, the better it feels. That's why I'm building mine on normal frames with the lightest possible motors and batteries, and always using torque sensors. In fact I'm currently trying to adapt a better torque sensor than the one I have to my bike. It should improve the natural feel of power delivery even more.
