Hi Guys,
I've been doing a bit of searching around and research to see what is accessible to me and would like some advice on what you guys would think is appropriate for my bike.
Main purpose of this bike is mainly for commuting to around the city. I am based in Auckland, New Zealand and in the city there tends to be alot of hills.
1) The bike:
I'm not to sure on the exact model but its an oyama folding bike . Hopefully the pics help a bit more.

Rims 20"
8 Speed
With Front Derailer (not sure if that will be issue)
Chain Ring ( Front 52T and then there are additional rings)
2) Purpose
Commute within the city and able to handle hills some of which tend to be fairly steep.
3) Kits I've been looking at and Interested in
I've been looking into two options mainly
Mid Drive Kit - BAFANG BBSHD 1000W - https://lunacycle.com/bafang-bbshd-1000w-middrive-kit/
Hub Motor Kit - Mac Motor - https://lunacycle.com/mac-motor-asi-high-performance-hub-kit/
( Not sure to do rear or front)
Open to suggestions and advise.
4) Battery
Batteries I have been looking at are around the 52v to 48v range.
Budget wise ideally i would like to be under $1500 NZD but willing to bump up depending on requirements.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is my first attempt at building an E-bike.
Thanks
