I can see the Pinion electric motor/gearbox that soundwave posted, will be the way forward for Ebikes.
As much as I love my Rohloff, the Pinion drive is a better set up than the Rohloff, especially for none Ebikes, even though it does require a specific frame, unlike the Rohloff which can be retrofitted to almost any bike.
I am also shocked and stunned, that the Bosch and Yamaha Crank Drive motors don't come with an embedded gearbox, it's almost as though they have only done half a job, or am I missing something.
