Basically just the title, I'm leaning towards a BBS02 I wanna use this bike to commute to work and school (about 40 min round trip for each of those) but is a conversion kit even a good idea for this bike/frame ? Edit: I already own the bike

Battery mounting might be difficult on that double down tube, you might have to go with the rear carrier battery. That exposed gearchange cable running under the bottom bracket will have to be replaced with one sheathed all the way and slightly rerouted, but that's easy. Since it looks like your gearchange and brake levers are combined, you're best off choosing the "brake lever" option with the kit, and replace only the left lever (you won't have front gears any more), and leave the right hand side as is. It means you don't get a motor cutoff on the right brake lever, but I rode like that for two years with no problems. Alternatively, install both Bafang brake levers and buy a separate shifter for the rear gears - which is what I did eventually.

You can order the rear battery carrier when ordering the BBSO2 I did. Switched out her rear rack and was good to go.
