I'm 6'2ish, 215lbs and I have a 10 mile, completely flat commute (I live in Florida).

I'm looking at one of the Citizen folding bikes (so I can easily fold it up and bring it to my desk, plus toss it in my car and for many other reasons).

Specifically: http://www.citizenbike.com/catalog.asp?product_category_id=1&product_id=1

Would this be a good choice for a 20" front hub brushless motor kit? It has a nice rear-rack for battery placement and nice fenders.

The price is right and I don't see anything that immediately stands out at me that would make the conversion process difficult.

Any thoughts? I'm just getting into the electric conversion community so I've been picking up a lot here and there but I would love to hear from pro's and con's.

Thanks!

Check the width of your fork. Nano has a motor for narrow forks they use on Bromptons in England.

I've seen similar bikes like the ezip or izip something like that. Looks cool, let us know how it looks how the conversion goes :) what kind of batteries were you looking at? SLAs may be too heavy for the rear rack, they weigh about 7 pounds or more per 12v battery.
