We are mostly all about "out of the box" conversions here on Endless Sphere, if you want store bought, expensive e-rides then MTBR likes to moderate with ego's. I have not gotten into Pedelec UK at all, nor Facebook E.S. as a matter of fact, I deleted my faceplant account 2 months ago and can not re-activate it which is all the better, but places like Airbnb need to use social media to authenticate so its a dilemma which I got into a few years back in Golden, British Columbia, Canada and the reason why I joined faceplant with my real name. Aside from that story....
Leafbike 1500W is the one you want, not some mystery kit from Alie/Ebay/Alib
They even have the KT display if you want that.
You then have to find a battery and assess your risk level.
I personally and cheap, but I have recently come into a steady stream of guaranteed money so hopefully that will change my cheapness factor as I never had no money before, even negating the liquor fund. Aside from that story....
Back to the major component of any kit, the battery. I am sure you have read up on LiPo and mystery batteries and I am sure you prefer to buy from reputable companies, right? Aside from your Aliexpress links which I will ignore. There is little you want to cheap out on when it comes to e-riding, batteries and chargers is one aspect, another is under-powering your e-kicks! Neat new word I just came up with! Them Leafbike's are efficient (going on Netpronix's posts) and you can sink a ton of power into them if you wish, and the size, weight is manageable! Which is a bonus, another is that is direct drive, match it with a sinewave controller (in the future) and its silent, no sound! Which can be good for you depending on your geographical area, and the granola/tree hugger factor of the residents of your geographical area. No offense to any of those in this forum, I am sure there are at least one (active) of you here. Yes, I am an oilman, which is what Alberta is, I digress, oilman sounds like a Tycoon or leader which I am neither, aside from that story....
Seems I am on a roll, guess I am feeling good today, though cold & snow is forcasted, aside. I wonder if you can order them Leafbike motors in a "Turn Count" which is KV, which is RPM/V. I have always wondered that.
Ok I am done.
