You'll need to do some research then. I would also notice how much room I had with the Kenda Kwest tires to judge if I could fit a 2+ inch tire. If the rims have an aftermarket name on them I'd contact the rim manufacture.

It's probably a good idea to ask yourself do you want to stay with your current e-bike. The options for a 20 inch wheel and having v-brakes are not the best foundation for a 30+ mph e-bike. You need to ask yourself, "Do I continue to invest in this where the parts are few and hard to come by or do I get/build an e-bike where I have more options?". I've had to make the same decision myself and it's not easy.
