I recently purchased a new motor (hub) replacing my old, weak 250 w unit. The previous motor was using a drum brake which cannot be fitted onto the new. I noticed how many bikes sold today come equipped with disc brakes now - great - I thought - my new rim actually supports disc brakes. However, I'm now unsure if the frame does. It has holes, three of them, and I'm lost.
- Would a disc brake work for me? (see pic 2 of the fitting)
- Are there other types of brakes that could be fitted somehow? I don't see how rim brakes could fit anywhere.
- Are there other solutions? Like the adapter plate(?) pictured here: https://www.bikeman.com/bicycle-rep...8-51mm-international-standard-74mm-post-mount

The thing is this bike is soon to cause marriage failure if not fixed, since it's taking up a large portion of the living room and has been doing so for the past months. Also promised the missus she would get to ride it once it was done. Not gonna happen without at least some sort of brake mechanism, the new motor is a 2 kw beast.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
