Fitting all that (battery, motor, controller, voltage converter, charger) into a small package is pretty impressive.

Mid-drives are certainly superior to hub-drives, so that's another plus.

Can it pedal assist? i.e. only kick on when pedaling. That's often a legal requirement.

Doesn't mention cost, weight, or battery capacity.

I'm assuming most of the parts beyond the aluminum chassis are off the shelf. It would be a nice thing to open source, or at least sell the plans so anybody* can build.
