They make a chain drive geared motor that let's you use the bike gears

performance than hub driven of same motor size but looks more difficult
to install.

And the geared drive isn't nearly as dependable. The worst of the lot
is the Currie Drive. Pot Aluminum for some of the parts and it wears
out fast.

Curries are cheap and don't use the bikes gears. You can buy a complete
ebike with batteries for $398 (was on sale for $320) at Walmart. I was
thinking more along the line of the Cyclone kits.
