if its drop bar bike and you want limited range in order to keep it light, look into the bottle cage batteries like these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003509221325.html

Thanks all, much to discuss with them.
I'm sure there are spec I'm missing (but see more reading needed on the best display, battery size or the brake lever type) but as a quick example:
Triban RC 120 disc £450 or Pinnacle Lithium 3 £400
Bafang M215 250w mid drive with rear rack battery £827

Total £1200-£1300
Seems reasonable for a dedicated bike. Pays for itself in <10 months.
Think I'm handy enough with a spanner to fit.
