So that is a mid drive? The chain guard really hides it.

It is. A good chain guard can hide it pretty well. I just got 750 Tongshen mid drive for an Indian Tribute build and can't wait for testing - it has a torque sensor as opposed velocity sensory like the Bafang. Attached a pic of a early 60s Rex Chrome that I was able to hide pretty well also.

Very nice ! This just could be the assurance / inspiration that some observers have been waiting for.
