Where to buy a 26" hub motor kit for an e-chopper bike project ?

[JanneMatti]

Hello from Finland.
I'm a beginner in these electric bike builds, but I'm even more enthusiastic about building chopper motorcycles etc.
I need your help / advice on building an E-Chopper bike and mainly on buying a 26" rear wheel hub motor kit.
I'm planning on putting a 26" Fat Bike wheel on the rear.
So where can I buy a quality installation kit at a good price ( budget ) ?

Take a look at e-Bikeling for a variety of power levels, but you'll spend more time & money looking for a suitable battery. The individuals here will probably hook you up with an equivalent or better motor kit.

Is it for show or for go? If the latter, what your expectations are would be helpful (desired speed and range, flat ground or hilly terrain, etc.). Do you have a frame or are you building it? There are direct drive and geared hub motors, but which to choose may be influenced by how you will be using it. Fat tire hubs will have 170mm-175mm dropouts or wider, while non-fat will usually be 135mm-140mm.

This bike, for example, has 26” fat tires. But if you look at the specs for the rear hub, it’s a coaster brake hub with 110mm dropouts. That’s the same as a common front hub motor, but wouldn’t work with pedals.

Good points.
I thought it would be a regular road bike, max. speed 30-40km/h
No gears needed, so it would be direct drive and no pedals.
A throttle would be good.
I'll make the frame and the front myself.
Here's a plan for now...
