Huh?!? Most bicycles have 26" or 700cc rims. Folding bikes generally have 20" rims. Where would come the tough time finding these?
[quote Black Landlord]Looks like a fun project-- trouble is, you're going to have a tough time finding a 20" or 26" bike:
Although if these folks can find a 14" bike, they're certainly out there. . .

The 360 watt kit is your best choice for low cost and maximum range on level ground or low to medium grades. Because it uses the bike's rear gears, this 360w motor will outperform hub motors of equal or larger size. Under typical conditions, the 360 watt motor can drive 20" folding bikes up to 20 mph and 26" bikes at 25+ mph on level ground. At crusing speeds, the motor will draw about 10-15 amps so it can be powered with relatively small batteries
