Brushless motor hype was real and I feel dumb for waiting

Rode a ratty old hub motor e-bike for 2 years through Seattle hills and thought the noise and weak climbing was normal. Swapped to a $300 Bafang mid drive last month and suddenly I'm passing traffic on a 12% grade without breaking a sweat. Anyone else hold out on upgrading only to realize they were missing out the whole time?

Bafang makes good kits but that was probably closer to $600 after the battery and display, not $300.

Blame it on inflation, @vals38, the price tag just kept growing!
