IMO, the challenge with small hub motors is they don't ascend very efficiently. Should you purchase one, make sure that you climb long hills at 50% of the max speed of the bike. I've got a 36V, 350w front conversion with a 17.5 a-h battery and I need to pedal like crazy on relatively steep hills. Try to test ride a bike like whatever one you're considering.
