It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Well, both VESC and Hobbywing systems will let you turn it down. More power also means more braking. A bigger battery is able provide a bigger resistive load, which is required for stopping power. The regen braking on my Eovan is strong enough to lose traction on some surfaces.

So you'll prefer overspeccing a little.

I've not looked at kits, except the revel kit. Which seems to have disappeared. If you can find one, they're know to be great.

For a full DIY conversion I'd be finding and vetting each component individually.
