I sometimes wonder why you are so obsessed with promoting hub and deriding crank ??? It makes no sense at all..yes both have qualities but poster you say is talking bolux lists what many see ( especially with Bosch) as one of its fantastic qualities. Its smoothness and natural operation.
I think Trex, like me, feels that there are some contributors to Pedelecs who are completely blinkered when it comes to drive styles. And he, again like me, is being forced to make a case for the much loved, tried and tested hub motor.
We understand that when someone has made an investment in a particular kind of bike, there is a need to justify that purchase decision to both themselves and others.
For the sake of those watching these threads who are maybe less informed, we need to keep a fair and balanced discussion.
To say the CD is better than a hub or visa versa is not helpful or true.
It may be an idea to stop being so vehemently pro or con specific motor kinds and try to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both?
All the best
