Recommendations for motors

It would be nice of you to make more effort and describe what you want this motor for.
There is a big difference between commuter, emtb, cargo bike etc. On road or off road. Hills or flat terrain. The more information, the better.
If I were you, I would be looking for some local dealers.

A 20" folder with 2" or smaller tires? I've found the AKM100H or Q100H with a 308 rpm winding is a nice motor on 36V or 48V. They come in 201, 260, and 308 rpm. You want the 260 or 308 for small wheels. I have installed four of them. I have done one front drive, but rear is better.
Cheaper to buy as bare motors and do your own spoking, They wanted $100 or more to ship a complete wheel from China, and you get cheapo spokes,

What is the width of the hub you want to put the motor in?
Actual, physical things have actual, physical sizes and arrangements. Bicycles and motors are real, physical things.
Different types of riding emphasize different aspects of usefulness.
We can't tell you what will give you what you want if you don't actually write what you want.
You can waste money on something that works for someone else but not for you. That's on you.
Do you have the bike? What is it?
How much do you weigh?
What weather do you want to ride in?
This is not an uncommon question or build. Far from ideal, but not uncommon, and most of them end up with something like a small front hub and controller, and a small battery mounted somewhere like on the seatpost. The OP isn’t providing any details, so absent that, we can fill them in any way that would make sense to us (e.g. guess 100mm front hub spacing, etc.).
The criteria is a small lightweight hub. Investing so much more effort, or typing, on a question where so little effort is demonstrated by the OP seeking the help, only makes sense if you’re applying for sainthood. We all know the build will likely be a short distance, flat ground bike, but still more fun than pedaling without assistance; and not a long distance, off-road, hill climbing, cargo beast, but still fun.
The other problem with going the 20 questions route, is that you’ll eventually land on the perfect components to meet all of the criteria, then inevitably, with greater that 50% probability, the cost will be beyond the unstated budget.

i will try to make things clearer.
there is no bike to describe, i will make it myself. im currently focusing on the wheels, it will be 18inch rims, might make them mangizum for the strength and weight benefits
i believe somewhere around 350W of power. the bicycle are quite small but will be meant for nice speeds around 35KMH.
will be driven in cities, and carry regular person around 85kg.
still all above dont really matter- i think. just wanted to some reccomendations about companies that make good motors with a bit of extra lightness and quality. something like Accelerated Systems or Bosch
