After getting some new mid drive kits for my other bikes, I had a Dillenger 36v geared hub kit lying around so I decided to install it on my Radwagon. The battery easily fits on the back rack. You could have a row of batteries setting back there.
Hill climbing is a lot easier now. Most of the time I leave the front assist a Level 3/5 and the rear assist in Level 1/5. This give me a range of over 40 miles with an average speed of 16-17 mph on flat surfaces. The only time I really notice the front hub assist is starting from a stop. Once the PAS catches, the bike takes off.
Level 4 up front and Level 2 in the back pushes it up to around 20 mph average cruising speed.
The steel forks makes it ideal for a small front hub motor. The 27.5 in wheel the kit was on happen to fit on my Radwagon which initially used a 26 in wheel. I got a narrower tire 27.5 x 2.0 and that kept it under the fender.
