Cruzbikes have front-wheel drive via a very short chain. This allows them to use off-the-shelf components that all bikes use for a front hub. This is more like a unicycle hub, which are wildly different from bike parts (I would know, I built this: https://imgur.com/a/we-made-electric-assist-unicycle-long-ve...)
Right now, there is only one multi-geared commercially available unicycle hub, and it only has 2 gears, and costs $1500 (Schlumpf drive). As for ebike motors that can be coaxial with pedals, as far as I know 2 have ever been made, by myself and by Justin @ ebikes.ca.
The entire unicycle community would be thrilled if they actually built this because then we could buy these hubs. But I would be very surprised to see this launch with a unique hub, instead of a cruzbike-like hub.
