DIY e-bike conversion - how hard can it be?

You can buy a complete e-bike and there's plenty of choice, from rather ugly 'sit up and beg' models to sleek carbon fibre models with concealed batteries.  But I didn't want straight bars and I wanted a range of at least 70 miles. I'm also very fussy about having a bike that fits me very well, being over 6ft tall, which after a lot of effort I've achieved with two of my bikes. So I started looking for a suitable conversion kit for my winter bike, which I could use all year.
