gillies-
On the topic of boxes I know there are a number of third party ones you can get that sit wider than the frame of the bike, this probably is the best solution for you. I'll invite you to a bullitt group on fb where you can get a lot of information. This is handy as many of the best aftermarket products come from German specialist sites you might not come across on google.

Both are theoretically compatible with gates drive, but the nexus option may comes with it (based on their website pictures, but no reference to gates). I think that LvH now only sell eBullitt's with the option of 11-speed alfine or 5-speed version and have discontinued the 8-speed alfine. The 5 speed comes with belt drive, the 11speed alfine with a chain. You'd need a new motor unit chainring etc to convert the alfine, plus no autogear shifting and the durability issues.
