Sorry if this has been discussed, but I can't find it in any search results.
Any opinions about this kit? It's like the Commuter Booster that was discussed in the past, but no longer available. I don't need a high powered e-bike, just something to flatten the hills a bit and help me against headwinds.

Okay, the motor is only 24v. It's limited to 250w, which is enough for me, although it can be reprogrammed up to 800w. I'm kind of afraid that one day, I would forget to remove the motor from the quick release bracket and it would get stolen. The whole setup seems pretty light, although that's partly because the battery is only 8AH. Still, it seems neat and well thought out. Price seems good. I can't imagine a complete hub motor conversion kit going for any cheaper. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on this. Any reason I shouldn't?
