Hello just wondering what the costs are like to get a conversion kit from china. My main concern is import charges to the UK
I would search other threads but site says error when open search links.
this is my first build so i want to make it clean.
annoying UK sellers dont seem to have 700c kits that are not inflated in price
heres what im doing so far
using a Voodoo Masara,700c 20inch as a Base
Yes i know its hydraulic brakes i plan to convert the default ones until i get replacements
Using a 20w 17.5ah samsung cell ebattery
Im going for a rear hub 1000w/1500w kit (i know the batter wont push 1500w from what I hear but future proofs me)
(bonus if)
a half throttle with key and lcd display with a usb port. (also the waterproof connectors would be nice but can insulate myself)
something like this i can change the brakes later since it ticks all the boxes.

with lockdown i have beefed up so im assuming im around the 14/15 stone mark
and yes i know the legality of anything higher than 250w but plan on having a limiter control and i do mainly pedal
Here are my questions
1. Are there any import costs.
2. My bike is cassette 9 speed, will a 9 speed still work or should I just buy a separate 7 speed.
thanks again for reading hope you can help
my main gripe is import costs if any
