Torque sensing PAS is a function of the bottom bracket and controller, and so would certainly work with my motors. The Small Block makes the most sense because the more power you try to control with any kind of PAS the worse it operates. It's much easier to make the delivery of 500 watts smooth than 5,000 watts. My interest in pedal assist is limited to be honest. That segment is too crowded with too much cheap Chinese product. Personally I like pedaling with a hand throttle controlled motor. Yes it takes a little bit of coordination and thought. I'm okay with that.
I have been thinking about bringing the Small Block back. When the CYC first came out everyone was buying them and Small Block sales dried up for a while. But now that we all know what the CYC is, there may be a need for a simple, well built, 5-6 kW lightweight. Thanks to the new generation of controllers the Big Block is too powerful for most bicycles. Sure you can run it at half power for 5kW, but why carry the extra four pounds of weight on a bicycle if you don't need the power?
