Don't forget about the algebraic formulas you will need to calculate your weight to mass ratio. You will not have much issues with that if you use lightweight batteries like lithium ion, but if you use lead acid you just might not get much speed out of your setup. * +

I use a petrol engine on my bike, but i'd mount an electric hub the same - in the frame. That way you can choose your gear ratio. In the wheel you're stuck with the one ratio but in the frame, with a chain drive, you can tweek it to your preference once you've tried it out.

I did this with my petrol engine - i don't need crazy acceleration from the 80cc motor, so i've twice reduced the size of the rear sprocket. The acceleration is still satisfactory (i can assist it with the long 3-speed pedals) but now it'll do around 40-50mph. A 1000w electric hub would work equally well this way.
