Motors for manned VTOL

Hey guys,

I was pretty interested by the Ehang184 & Airbus concepts. 

I'm doing a little research project into the future of city wide air transportation and I was curious as to how the guys over at Ehang generate so much thrust? 

What type of motors do they use and are there any similar ones commercially available? 
I'm presuming it makes more sense to use fewer motors as opposed to something like the Volocopter 2 that has something like 18 motors?

I'd be ever so grateful for any insights.

Cheers!
