Next step: e road bike

I am looking for a way, if possible, to convert my husband's custom road bike to one with electric assist capability. Suggestions appreciated.


FYI: My husband is facing his next medical recovery challenge having had a heart attack in February. This after a stroke in 2014 where we solved riding issues with a tandem that I captain. When he got strong enough he got a custom road bike (Stinner) with a very low top tube so he can get his leg over it. The tandem is out - it is too difficult for him to regulate his heart rate in the very steep hilly area where we live. He is struggling with keeping his heart rate low on his single as well. There is no such thing as a flat ride where we are.


More fyi: he won't/can't ride a bike with flat handlbars (mtn or hybrid) so that's not an option he will consider. The handling is sufficiently different and balance is an issue with him.
