it is possible, but you are going to spend as much probably as a new lower end priced multiple speed bike. You need a cassete/freewheel hub with your choice of gears,spokes to relace, a derailleur that will work with your gears and attach to your bike( probably axel mount) and a shifter that will also work. you will also have to widen the stays to 135mm as yours are 120mm.

As for the motor the best mods you can do to it cost nothing but time. Match the ports, in and out. Then try an expansion chamber.
