It seems like a front hubmotor would be the easiest to install.
Since I want light weight, and not range, less amp hours should be helpful.
I'm thinking that a 10 minute run time at full assist power would
likely do the job.. Unless I become overly impaired.

If that happens, I could just get one of these..
