Options for this bike?

Specifically overall I mostly wanna ask how the weight and power and battery life might be for my Reid Zeus fatbike.
If it's a lightweight bike, am I wasting a motor on it? Or it's still ideal and I can lift the bike over sidewalk curbs still? And the lightweight help run a efficient battery that doesn't weigh a ton?
What spec should I get? I gotta measure the bike and verify if the kit fits.

I just selected some max specs and see a price. But I'll wanna wait maybe next year and kind of know what I'm aiming for.
But otherwise I've got a Giant Talon 27.5 w/ Swytch motor but having trouble with it.
Then I was thinking of doing this one first on my Trek Sport 4 Carbon. But I need to replace the brakes and that could also delay next year. If I buy this kit half price now though and whenever I get a chance to buy brakes.

What do you think? I'll need at least one bike that can handle in rain. Not sure how waterproof any of these are. Trying to commute and sidewalks or whatever possible. Some people can't seem to fathom if I up some equipment it changes some aspects drastically. So a faster bike means I might not have to rush and be so involved with trying to maneuver traffic. It could change a lot. When you only have to sit there and hit your lazy foot on a pedal. Also ironic how perception and psychology changes if someone seems to be on a speedy looking moto style bike or when you're not frantically pedaling sweating, you might not notice your bias. Or if someone thinks you're pedaling hard when it's on assist. Or in a parking lot or some place that cars do a decent speed but they're cars anyways and how easy they accelerate and stop it has quite a different sense.
Anyways if I could get this lightweight kit for carbon bike and not break it. Idk what's happening with the Switch.
But I'm interested if this other kit is good option for fat bike. And then which bike could be suited for rain or pannier. And lock at a grocery store. Might figure out some ways to put a locking cover over my handlebar accessories also.
Considering rear view mirror, or insta360 with wrist watch. Other safety stuff, secure, found a neat bike lock on kickstarter
