Kit suggestions

[Whee!Giant]

Hi folks,I've a 2019 giant escape 2 city disc that I'm thinking of converting.

Looking for suggestions for a conversion kit,ideally able to power up to a steady 30kmh,mostly on the flat but with mild hills included.
Quite a bit of stop/start involved approximately 50/70km daily.

Not looking for it to be full electric for the most part(don't pedaling,I'm not a lazy sod)

Hub or crank drive best?
Budget is roughly €600.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply,would that kit require any replacement of the cassete or chainring/drive chain in general?

Would all gears be usable?
Also I see that a rotor adapter is mentioned,as in the original disk can be transferred?

Also the option is there for 700c,I've a 28 inch wheel,is that suitable without major mods?

Thanks in advance.

You have a great bike to use as a base for conversion. I would use a 201rpm rear hub (good torque for hills plus the speed you are looking for), pedal assist sensor, 36v 10ah battery. Add a controller and handlebar display and you will have a great little system - for around £350. Are you planning to fit yourself?
