Kona Minute midtail cargo bike w/ dual 350W MAC kits, 36V/15Ah Headway battery kit, and CA V3 - heavy but very stable, eats hills.
GT Timberline MTB w/ integrated torque-sensor motor, sine-wave controller, and LCD display - nice, smooth, quiet ride.
Ultra Motor Europa pre-built - good range, but noisy brushed Heinzmann motor struggles up hills.

WhatcomRider nails it. Xtracycle now has made the collaboration with Justin and Sam Whittingham (of Naked Bicycles) official: part 1; part 2. It looks like the production model is going to be called the EdgeRunner--but they're calling it a "series", so maybe more than one model?

Looks like an exciting product. The devil is in the details, but with guys like Justin and Sam involved, the details should get a lot of loving attention. Many here will appreciate the 20" rear wheel. Based what he said during the Ebike Nerdcast interview, Justin is focused on sub-30mph, practical and highly reliable transportation, because that's where the potential for social transformation is. But he's obviously sympathetic to hobbiests and hot-rodders, so this could be a really interesting (that is, hackable) platform. The "mule" prototype frame is absolutely gorgeous.
