Well, any engine kit should work - else ya need to get yer money back lol The question is what bike are ya tryin' to put it on? Not all frames will take an in-frame kit, which tend to be the least expensive. You can bolt a rack-mount to just about anything but they usually cost more.

Because of the wide rear tire you need a way to offset the engine a bit to the left to clear the rear tire with the chain. I think you can find engine mount kits on ebay. It is probably a bit difficult for a first build but it has been done before. Good luck.

there are mounts for off-setting the engine, as well as adapters for mounting the sprocket available...
look around here and you will see many different OCC builds to draw ideas for your own build

ok got the engine kit,I was now wondering wher i can get a 3 speed rear wheel or hub?

It is easier to go to a 5 speed using SBP or DIY shaft kit.

I didn't want derailer system.I was thinking more of this. Wide Hub - 3 Speed/Disc SLVR - Choppers U.S., LLC would this work for this bike?

I've heard that some internally geared hubs have a rather short lifespan on motorized bikes. I couldn't tell you which ones though.
