My first build , I am new to the game. Electra Vince 3i

I just bought my first bike to try and convert to a motorized kit. After picking up my bike I am starting to see a lot of challenges with an Electra Vince 3i. I loved the way it looks and rides. there is a lot of tight spaces I need to make work. I am sure I will be posting in the other categories very soon. Thank you guys for any advice,

I can't wait to see the finished motorbike. That Vince is very unique.
Coaster brakes work fine as long as you have a front brake too.

The coaster brake won't work with a shift kit, the pedals freewheel backwards.

The bike will not have breaks then because it doesn't have front brakes.

Front and rear C brakes are cheap, ~$25 a wheel.

Thanks. I am getting the bike back this weekend. I am having C breaks installed. I think I will have to do the rear my self because the shop will not drill into my frame due to there insurance. I will post picturs as soon as I get it back. Also ordering the motor kit this weekend!!!

Thank you to everyone for the help.
