Have any of you seen this new midrive?
Not sure why it cost $1,600!
Looks like a great option for dirtbike conversions

Looks like the "production" version of the one at the end of this thread

They also have the option on AliExpress now. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003835665401.html

Yep you’re right. I wonder why it’s $1,600? Seems completely over priced compared to the other QS mid drives.

CNC made , production on order. No mass production.
That makes it much more expensive than the other versions. As soon as they start the normal production prices will drop.

Yeah that makes sense
I’m interested to see the feedback on this motor once people start using it. This QS160 seems like a better option for continuous higher power levels compared to the QS138 V3.. Seems like a bridge between the QS 138 V3 and the QS180. The QS180 seems like a beast of a motor but it’s a bit heavy for us off-road riders/ enduro..


Edit:
QS180 = 22.86kg or 50.39lbs
QS165 60H = 15.5kgs or 34.17lbs
QS138 V3 = 14kg or 30.8lbs
