How to convert a 16" folding bike to ebike?

Hi,

I have just bought a Orbita Flex 16 folding bike. It is wonderfully made. It's a Portuguese brand that is making bikes since 1971 in their factories in Portugal. I preferred this one on the Dahons and other brands.

I want now convert this bike into an e-Bike and would like to know what I need, if there's a kit with battery or a wheel with motor and battery.

Dimensions between forks= 100mm
Tyres= 16*1.75

Here where I live there are plenty of hills and steep hills above 15% inclination or more...

So as I never did this I would like your help in choosing a conversion kit to put a motor and battery in my bike in order to make my rides more smooth and less swetty

Hope you all can help me out!
