Been browsing around on e-bike conversion kit, seems like some semi decent kit only only around 500-700usd , rear wheel hub motor + battery.

Anyone has good experience converting let's say a gravel to a rear wheel e-bike kit?

Depends. For Thru Axle there is quite difficult to find a hub motor. What do you need? I converted a lot of bikes to ebikes (hub and mid motor).

Like Serge_K, I have not found many E-bike retrofit kit offerings through Aliexpress.   I am getting older every year, and keep riding analog bikes.    The last good thread that included a sub discussion discussion on a BB retrofitted motor was in this thread about the Lexon Spirit FS frame.  (Go to the 5th page, post #65)

I was thinking of going down this path back when this thread was active, then forgot about it.

https://www.pswpower.com/ a lot of kits with good prices.
