I wonder if ebay ebike conversion kits are still a thing. Did mine 15 years ago with an electric front wheel and it's still going today.

I did one a few years back to my mountain bike..mid drive motor driving the rear wheel. It was a nice little project.

Bafang make the kits and it had lots of power..I could cruise with throttle only at 40kph!

I sold it to fund a motorbike in the end.
