The place you ordered your kit from used the cheapest version of that Bafang motor.

This would have worked
This also would have worked.

Both of these Bafang motors are of much higher quality than what you purchased. You will notice the power cable comes out to the side instead of straight out the axle. They both use a standard round axle and and are disk compatible. Grinn and another company have worked with Bafang for several years on these improvements. I am considering the 20" version of the front hub motor for my touring bicycle.

What bb motor did you put on your bicycle.
It was thumb throttle and single magnet cadence sensor. advertised at 25 mph, but never got over 23. I'm unsure of the tech specs of the motor (ie. windings)
I ordered a bike, not a kit.

The new bike came with a Bosch Active Line motor. ( I did not build it.)
