Anyone motorized one of these?

I was out black Friday shopping and came across a rack of 8 of these things. They are steel frame, 700cc tires, 28" frame and single gear. They look like they'd be a blast to motorize. On top of that they were 90 bucks on sale. If i had the spare cash I would have bought one in a heart beat! I took some pictures to show what I'm talking about.

I wonder if a left hand threaded 5 point free wheel would spin on to that rear hub. If so.. It would be fantastic !! Then you could tread on a free wheel and mount the sprocket of your choice to that side. Only problem would be starting the motor by pedaling.. It looks like a great bike to be sure. Target shows them at 89usd.
