I'm not trying to be a jerk, but your setup seems a bit off. Your fork is turned around the wrong way, and I've read that suspension forks can fail under the torque of the motor. Also, you have rear suspension which appears to interfere with the stable mounting of the rear rack (notice the top of the rack mounted to the "front triangle" and the bottom mounted to the "rear triangle"). Honestly, I think an older mountain bike with no suspension and a steel fork would be better suited for this conversion.
