add-e: can electrifying a bicycle be this easy?

Now that is brilliant! Perfect for a light weight road bike.

Problem is it's about $1000.

There's a cheaper alternative, the Go-E OnWheel, with the same principle: http://go-e.bike/en/

A momentary thread jack to say hi to SB, Hope your are happy at your new place and things are going well!

That is a nicely engineered product adding minimum weight for sure. There have been several builds over at the Sphere that were similar using R/C brushless motors. While not as nicely engineered/finished they were none the less as lightweight and easily attached.

Being an old Friction Drive guy I can say from experience that the aggressive grit roller will drive well even in the wet but has a healthy appetite for tires in the dry.
