Wow, check out this new e-bike.
Thought I'd show you guys this e-bike. Look how stealth it is. Amazing. Apparently, it's a Norco 2010 XFR with a bafang motor and a sensorless controller. The people at itselectric.ca made it but I can't find any info on their website but maybe you can assemble your own from their website. I don't know. Maybe e-mail them.

Nice no nonsense design. Needs bigger tires though. I find that a minimum of 2.1 works best to stave off the dreaded fix a flat on the side of the road. Loaded with Slime of course.

It can't be much of a motor can it? It looks to be about 1/3 the size of my bionx hub motor. I mean, it doesn't even fill the largest gear ring.

It looks smaller than my 450 watt EZee hub motor.
