Seems like a good setup. Just make sure you have enough room for the 54t sproket on the bike, the gearbox to house it will be bigger than your motor most likely. You have the skills to pull it off pretty clean, I would love to see it.

Thanks for the idea, I'll see if I can find a place like that.

The 54t gear actually won't be too big, only about 6.5" in diameter. The motor will mount directly to the gearbox, so this unit won't take up too much space.
