What a bike! Can I convert using a rear wheel kit?

Hi all:
This looks like an an amazing bike. Can I put a rear wheel motor kit on this thing? (Ravi, hope you are around to answer this)

12 Speed Bike with Pinion Gearbox | PRIORITY 600 | Priority Bicycles

The Priority 600 is a high-performance, automotive-inspired, all-road Pinion belt drive bicycle with a massive 600% gear range.

"The Priority 600 features the 12-Speed Pinion Gearbox with the new DS2 rotary shifter, an automotive inspired transmission system created by two former Porsche transmission engineers in Stuttgart, Germany. Named after the bicycle's massive 600% gear range that is equivalent to a traditional 30 speed bicycle, the gearbox offers unmatched versatility and dependability. There is no gear overlap, it's sealed for year-round all terrain riding, and is controlled by a single simple twist shift. Mounted in the center of the bicycle, it creates an ultra-balanced, nimble ride, all in a sealed, all-season, low maintenance package."

You could put a front hub motor on it. I wouldn't mess with anything from pedals back.
I found an IGH with 8 planetary gearsets (sturmey archer s80) slowed me down about 20% unpowered versus a 24 speed derailleur setup. All those planetary sets whirl around all the time, powered by me. The selector pawl picks one to engage.

My guess is that it would be tough to get a cadence sensor on it.

Wonder if this we would work?
Motor with built-in torque/cadence sensor. With battery, similar price as ebikes.ca kits

Falco doesn't like dirty old me inspecting their product. I have to provide identification. You're on your own.

Look for other options. Falco is a dying brand. IMO. GROSSLY overpriced!

I put a 48v, 1000w kit from *Calibike on my CCS for $250, less hattery & motor arrest brake levers
Everything else is there, but all I had to do was plug in the wheel with motor, didn't need the rest.
It;s been great. Higher rpm than original, but less torque. I compensated with a smaller chainring.
A little noisy when cold or low speed ( 10-mph), 2500 mi so far, no problem. They also sell
pretty reasonable battery packs, Levers u can find on ebay.
