Adapting BBS01B 36V Bafang with 35 mm bracket to 51 mm bracket frame

Hi! Please tell me if you know how I can solve this problem.

I want to install this kind of engine to a mountain tricycle brand Mooncool, bought from Ebay. The engine has a 35 mm diameter bracket and doesn't fit in tricycle's 51 mm bracket hub.

I am not into technical things. I guess the piece that makes the motor's bracket "fill up" the hub should be larger in its exterior diameter.
In the attached photo, I indicated this piece with a red arrow.

Also, I don't know if I need to change the loose bearings inside the hub with larger ones.

I'll be thankful for any help and advice!

Look for an adapter like this one, Someone in the Q&A area said it was 51mm diameter. I wonder if it might slip with the torque of the motor. They sell more expensive versions if you look around,

Thank you! I will order one. I found some at some local online shops, cheaper for same quality as those on Amazon.
It won't slip, as the motor keeps it inside. The motor has an "y"-shaped piece which keeps it (the motor) tightly attached to the frame and also doesn't allow the adaptor to go out.

There are lots of adapters for Ashtabula, one-piece cranks. But sometimes the gap between the BBSxx shaft and motor is too narrow to fit. Hopefully, you're golden.
