It doesn't mention that they're just bare batteries with no wiring or way to attach them to your bike. It doesn't mention that you'll have to figure out a way to charge them. Also, lead-acid batteries like that are going to be really heavy. You're looking at 30+ lbs of batteries there.

It sounds like you're at a level of expertise where you need to do a lot of research on how to put this all together from scratch, or you need to buy a relatively plug and play kit and accept the extra cost that comes with doing that. Or both.

Edit: Possible kit for you. Geared hub motor Kit 1000w front/rear - Luna Cycle
