I'm thinkin' front hubbie.

Hub would be too heavy for a portable like that.
It's just a scooter with a big front wheel, so use the normal scooter/skate drive unit at the rear.

Huh. Can add one "Mini Front Motor 36V (brushless/gear/freewheel)" Power Rate:250W that adds only 2.6 Kgs to front wheel?

So a little less than six pounds (plus battery, controller and misc).

Would hate to try and ride it barefooted or in sandals. :x An actual ride video might reveal if it is awkward to ride more than publicity still shots of smiling people coasting along looking cool. To me, it looks like it could use a seat. I could remove the saddle from my bike and get the same result. JMHO :?
