I also wanted to share all the useful info I’ve found along my ebike conversion journey.

If you’re looking to purchase a kit in the UK, Eclipse Bikes were the best priced I could find and the chap there, Rob, was incredibly helpful.

BEFORE STARTING YOUR OWN BUILD

Make sure your bike has right kind of bottom bracket before you go any further. Here’s a handy guide:
https://www.empoweredcycles.com/blogs/news/101474694-bottom-bracket-standards-and-bafang-mid-drive-motors

Apart from ensuring that you have the right type of bottom bracket, the only other challenges of the build were actually removing the old crank from the bike - so make sure you have the correct tools as linked above.
And lastly, cable management - Annoyingly pretty much all of the cables that come from the motor are way too long for most bikes (admittedly my bike isn’t that big, probably a medium) but even with an XL frame - the cables would still be way too long so be prepared to get creative trying to tuck them out of the way - hopefully you’ll do a better job than me!
