The new YASA axial flux motor weighs just 28 pounds, or about the same as a small dog.

But how many footballs a small dog weighs?

Not sure about that, but if you ask me, a really small dog only weighs up to 7 pounds - or otherwise said, this motor weight as much as four fat Chihuahuas ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chihuahua_(dog_breed) )

Which kind of football: the British or the US-American one? :-)

A small dog e.g. toy poodle is about 7-9lb anyway.

Lol. I was confused by it also. I have no idea how much is 28 pounds, and I could imagine how a small dog can be anything from 1 kg to 10 kg. It happens that the motor weight is ~13kg, but I'm still not sure that 13kg dog counts as "small".

Not sure about footballs but 28 pounds is about the weight of a child, a bag of rice, or a dumbbell. Hope that helps!
