The front tube on that bike is really really big so finding an easy mount solution will be tricky. Kent makes some good solid frames too but it is usually not recommended to use aluminum on a motorized build because it is prone to cracking from vibrations.

I actually based my Phantom 85 build off of a different Kent gravel bike known as the Nazz. Very similar in design and features to the Bohe but with a steel frame. I have been nothing but impressed with the quality of the frame itself. The wheels are typical walmart bike with fairly thin spokes though. It still did a decent job. There is one obstacle you will run into with the rear disc brake on either bike is it will limit your sprocket size to 38 tooth or smaller and you will HAVE to upgrade to a 200mm or larger rear disc. The calipers on the Nazz are also cheap single pull units. Thankfully there are some good affordable brake upgrades on ebay but just be aware.

36 tooth sprocket and 203mm rear disk for the disk brakes.
 
How would it work with those handlebars? Would they need replaced?
Good question since those bars and handgrip area do not use regular handgrips because of the curvature where your hands hold onto...They are just wrapped in regular bicycle handlebar grip tape.

I would think you would not be able to but throttle grip on it at all because of that curving, right where it needs to go.
