SEG Automotive is entering the e-bike market with a mid-motor that is intended to be modular and thus provide bicycle manufacturers with a number of options for adapting it to their own needs.https://www.notebookcheck.net/And-another-one-New-mid-motor-for-e-bikes-with-powerful-assistance-announced.781861.0.html
How much does this cost?

Judging from the mounting holes, it's likely an OEM-only solution, so you'll only ever buy it as part of a complete bike.
600 watts is barely adequate, hardly "powerful" but least it's not a wimpy 250 watt Eurospec style motor.
The article should also tell us wether it is cadence or torque sensing. If it's cadence this is nothing all that desirable

6,000w not 600
600 Watts might not be much for a Hub Motor but for a Mid Motor it's very substantial.
While speaking of power the unit that is used to measure the power output of an electric e bike motor is Nm .
That's the Beauty of those gay European 250w Girlie Motors the use half the electric charge while easily keeping up with a 750 watts Hub Motor and on top of that the most popular Mid Motor from Bosch has an estimated Lifetime of 50,000.00 km/h.
The main reason I went for a Mid Motor when I started in E Bikes is a very simple one.
If I am on a 2 wheel Bike that has a Throttle, I can't stop comparing it with the other Bikes I owned with Throttle from Dirt Bike to Touring Bikes and it doesn't even come close.
That's why I went for an actual Bicycle Style E Bike where you have to Paddle to get moving and guess what ? Non of the Bicycles I owned is able to Compare with the E Bike .
Also all Competitions in Mountain E Bikes , Down Hill and what's so ever use Mid Motors . Why is that ?
