Building a new electric assist bike

I don't often hang out here with the electrified crowd, but I'm currently working on a project that I would appreciate some feedback on.
About 5 years ago, I did a Wilderness energy electric conversion for my wife. At the time, I bought two kits, thinking I'd sell one in my shop.
It never sold however, so I still have it.
Anyway, the bike I converted for her is a 700c wheel bike, and although the motor has worked beautifully with no issues whatsoever, she is now finding the bike to be very cumbersome.
I decided to dig out the spare kit, and build her a new bike from the ground up, this time, a 26" wheel bike with slacker frame angles, and an internal gearhub drivetrain.
I'm documenting the build as I go on Youtube, here's what I've done so far.
