I thought I'd post my build for others benefit and and ideas;
This is a light (not superlight) comfort commuter done on the cheap
Components;
Hasa CR-9 Hybrid;
SHIMANO BR-M375 Mechanical Disc Brakes
SHIMANO TX-51M6 & SHIMANO RD-M360 8 Speed Deraillers
Sunrace 48-38-28 Front
DNP 11-28 on the rear
Sapim 'Strong' Butted 13/14g spokes and Sapim Polyax nipples
Mavic A119 700c 36h Road Rim 2014
Rear hub XD 2 speed '250w' hub @280rpm with disc brakes
12aH 36v LifePo4 battery from BMS 5 years ago
Thumb throttle
HWBS Brake-line brake cut-offs from XD same as this
It runs really nicely, averaging 26-27kpm for my commute, I will be adding a cruise controller shortly too.
EDIT: 24kg total weight, which should come down to about 22 when I get a new lipo brick, and Lyen CC module added now.
Okay some pics;
The XD kit ready to be assembled;
The controller close-up;
I attached the disc, however that black plastic bit should NOT be on there (I have since fixed)

Finally I laced the wheel 2x pattern;
dishing worked out pretty good, still off by about 2-4mm, but happy for my 1st laced wheel, and so much better than my last factory laced wheel, and discs dont care if dishing is off a little;
Freewheel from a few angles, I needed the torque washer on the inside for enough clearance;

Wheel in the bike,
Note I had to stretch the rear forks to fit the 147mm (for 7sp) into 135 dropout;
I have made this tool to help with wheel maintenence;
How freewheel attaches to bike (torque washer on inside);
How disc side attaches to bike (torque washer on outside);
Here are my trek handlebars;
Closeup of the display and handlebar setup
Battery tied to rack, and a makeshift cable container;
