Your best bet is to go with a geared front hub.

This one got both battery and controller in a handlebar bag. Very tidy installation but also a very dreadful little bike.

Well just for an additional data point; what's your opinion on coaster brakes?
Chalo said:Coaster brakes are not especially powerful or sensitive, but they are consistent and dependable. This guy wanted one instead of the U-brake his frame was set up for, but I convinced him to install a dual pivot caliper brake in front when he came to pick up the bike. I think he'll be fine for the 20ish mph his bike is capable of, and the 12-15 mph that can be tolerated on solid 20" tires.
E-HP said:I could only brake well with my right foot. Like when sliding sideways and skidding to a stop was always easier turning left, supporting the bike with my left foot, and slamming on the brakes with my right foot. I could never get used to the other direction.
E-HP said:I'm still considering spending $25 for to test whether a freewheel threaded side cover can replace the plain one on a front hub motor.
Fvrdol said:So the best is battery with capacity from 15-19 ah.Where to find front hub kit for eu warehouse if you know good producers?
Fvrdol said:What do you think to put 20" bafang front hub 500w ?
RunForTheHills said:Any front hub laced into a 20" wheel will fit that bike and that is probably what I would use.
RunForTheHills said:Or you could just put a front hub motor kit on it and be done with it. It will get you to work and back. You can buy them already laced into a 20" wheel for under $300 without the battery. Why take the path of most resistance?
