It has advantages. The center of gravity is in the middle of the bike and at the 'bottom' of the bike. Electric motor in front wheel makes it more difficult the steer. Electric motor in the back wheel can cause 'understeer' especially in winter or on wet roads. The Bosch motor has been around for a while now and they have a very good reputation. A lot of new e-bikes have these pedal-powered Bosch motors. I must add. E-bikes are selling like hotcakes in The Netherlands. The first people to buy them were 50+ years old. Now 30+ year old people are buying e-bikes like this one. They are a serious alternative for a small car. These bikes are not cheap. Like $ 4000,-. But, there is certainly a market for them. I like to think they are the Tesla version of an e-bike.
