I wouldn't recommend this for a brakeless bike, because its remotely possible that the cog will come loose if you backpedal hard enough and/or don't tighten the cog enough. This is known as a suicide hub, but as long as the two brakes on the bike are functional you will still have the means to stop, so not a big deal. You can use red loctite for added security, but its not really necessary.
Is the rear hub is a freehub (i.e. the freewheel mechanism is in the hub itself), you will need a new wheel.
Can you post a close up of the hub?
Seriously? Installing it without
any lockring, and it's
remotely possible the cog will come loose? You are spewing dangerous information here, man.
If you want to run a suicide hub, there ought to be a BB lockring on it. Otherwise you're should price out a new hub... and a new set of teeth.
