I would be surprised if the links you show can actually provide the kits. One feedback on one of them reads "Beware!!! never buy - Fake seller does not have product, I confirmed before payment and was told product is available after purchase decline and increased the price three times. " The Chinese vendors look like web sites that do a shotgun approach to see what they will catch rather than vendors that specialise in ebikes. When sites like http://BMSbattery.com or http://www.greenbikekit.com/ carry them (or Paul?) then you will know they are really on the market.
Compared to the German site's price of €600 ($US 800) (including VAT), the price of US $328 and $330 would be very impressive unless the factory is giving big discounts, or unless the vendor makes their profits on the shipping.
As a point of information, our two motors came in a single polystyrene box designed to hold two motors and accessories. Also, the black C950 display has been superseded by a white C961 display. The photos in the Chinese sites are probably pre-release. The one that shows the ebike is the bike I test drove at the factory in Suzhou.
Things may change by the time you return from September. I expect that European distributors will put in bulk sea orders and eventually will have plenty on offer at retail prices.
BTW, the 250W BBS01 would be great in Barcelona. Great city, easy terrain.
