Cartoonified Electric Bike BLDC Hub Motor
Cartoonised version of a view of a bicycle Brushless DC electric motor. This scene of machinery overlaying nature is rather nice as a cartoon. Flaws though, are the brake disc blending strangely into the grass in the bottom left and the reflector in the spokes, being no longer identifiable. The reflector would be better left out but its hard to imagine an algorithm that would do that.

The other electric bike on display. I don't much like the look of it, and that custom boxy frame precludes using any standard bike accessories. I suspect there will be rapid evolution in this market for quite a few years to come.
