This is a hybrid road light trail bike. What is the best e-bike conversion for this frame? I want a mid-drive 750w ? I have never done a conversion so clueless other than watching some Johnny nerd-out videos that make it out to look very easy to convert any bike.

Really needed that info, thank you so much for taking the time to help.
I just had a Bafang BBS02 750 watt motor and a 48 volt 17.5 battery combo installed on my Cannondale Quick 4. Successful after a lot of jiggering. The bottom bracket is suitable BUT was a fraction of a mm too small for the BBS02 shaft to fit through so we had to use a high speed grinder to smooth it out.
The water bottle bolts are in the wrong place to fit the battery so my mechanic had to mount a special adapter to reposition the battery.
And the integrated brake/shifter handles are not suitable to replace with the sensor brake handles that Bafang supplies. In the end we used one of the supplied brake handles for the front brakes (no need for the front shifter lever) and purchased a little magnetic sensor for the rear brake handle (need to keep the integrated rear shifter). See photos.
To top it off, the screws and bolts to attach the sprocket were missing so my mechanic had to supply some.
Bottom line. This install is not a simple DIY. Make sure you have an experienced and well equipped mechanic to do it for you.
