The e-ride version does mess with the original bike's geometry, and it's not for everyone. I've looked into Boost too, and it just seems way too bulky!My favourite local bike shop offered me a good deal on an Addict eRide, but I didn't like the bike's 'racer' geometry, which is a shame, because the bike looks awesome.
At 73 my body likes the more relaxed geometry.
One kit that looks interesting is the Boost kit from the UK. The two negatives with this kit is they presently only offer their kits in the UK and they have a 25km motor cutoff. They're very similar to the Mahle setup.
There's also BikeOn, but there has been some problems with their earlier kits.
