Dunno whether they have it available for rear hubs, but Grin’s new All Axle Hub Motor is supposedly a couple kilos lighter than comparable hub drives.

My motor is pretty old now, but its not like motors change real fast. I think it is 2.2kg? not gonna get lighter than that.
it is rated at 350w at 36v, but everyone runs them at 48v and they do fine (assuming aren't going crazy with weight or hill climbs).
Here is a link to a kit: https://bmsbattery.com/ebike/577-162...ebike-kit.html
Personally, I just by the hub for $100, get a 48v controller, and have someone local build a wheel. I'm no fan of chinese wheels, and I'd rather pay an LBS to build up a rim than to pay similar $$$ in shipping costs.
