Front wheel or rear wheel kit?

Hi All,

I'm new to e-bikes and am looking at the kit options right now and am wondering if there are any big considerations between front and back wheel kits, and if I can install any of them with my basic mechanical skills (I'm no expert). My main question is how much mechanical/electrical skill do I need to go the conversion kit route. I'm not sure if I'd need to take this stuff to a bike shop for help or if most people can figure them out on their own.

Any comments on how these options that I've found would be good for my situation would help a lot:

A "quick-install" version I found: http://cleanrepublic.com/hill_topper...rsion_kit.html

A "beefier" version I've been considering: http://www.werelectrified.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD36+Kit

Thanks for any advice!
