Turdan!
I have a Bafang BBSHD. Had a few issues when first installed which have now been fixed. I love the extra power of it, I would definitely recommend going as big as you can with the engine.

I was riding my bullitt without a motor for a year but then added one and it was a total game changer. I love riding it so much now.
And carry so much more cargo on a daily basis.I got a bbshd, EggRider controller, and a big 52v battery under the loading deck.
You don’t have to go fast but if you’ve got a nice open road with no one about it’s pretty fun to go 30mph occasionally.
I don’t think you’ll regret getting a bigger motor as the whole bike weighs a lot already.Just so you know, loads of people grind bits off the motor or frame or both to fit it….
This is totally unnecessary, you just have to dismantle the entire motor and reassemble it around the frame.My mate got exactly the same setup and he loves it too, I always see him riding around with a big smile on his face.

Speaking as someone who has recently installed one, so not a long term review
Installation: piece of piss. If you can remove and install a bottom bracket then you should be laughing. Different frames present different challenges so ymmv.
Power: go big or go home. My bike is heavy, my kids are heavy, all our stuff is heavy. I went for a 750w motor and I have no regrets, and expect if I’d downsized I would be kicking myself.
Long term I’ve got to say I’ve not got the impression of a product that’s going to last for ever, but short term I’m having so much fun I dgaf.

Yo hive mind.
I love my bullitt. I ride it pretty much every commute. 10km loop. 50% road/50% forest track up to the yard. I have a couple valleys in the Cotswolds to climb up, I have my work dog up front for the B-roads. As some of the OS know I've got some health conditions. I'm considering a bafang mid drive so that I can take some of the fatigue out of the last few commutes of the week and to make the bike more usually generally.
I've scrolled back and forth on the thread and noted some of the resources and what others have done. There's some really good stuff on here - as always!
I'm wondering before I go ahead and buy whether there's anything anyone would advise/suggest I take into account, any good deals out there your already aware of, any considerations I should bare in mind - even if it's bait I'd be happy to hear them. Sometimes the most obvious things is what you overlook right.
I'm considering a BBS02. Power for the hills but generally I can keep it on low and just use it when I need to. This feels fairly standard for a cargo. I toyed with a 250w choice but I've got concerns about resell and under powering when moving up hill with weight. Wondering if general opinion is similar.
Cheers for any advice.
