*Disclosure*- I am a motorized bike noob.
I started on my 80cc kit a couple days ago. I am mounting the kit on a Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser ($80 at walmart. I originally wanted to build this as cheaply as possible.) I started by trying to put on the new sprocket but an overtightened nut gave me some trouble. It was the nut that held in the coaster brake arm. After finally getting it loose I realized that I accidentally overtightened the hub so that the bike's wheels won't coast or even spin when pedaling. I looked at other videos and posts on removing the internal parts but the cone won't budge. I'm pretty sure by now I have stripped out some of the internal parts as well.
Anyways I was going to buy a new wheel and was wondering if this wheel would be compatible. (link below)

The Cranbrook is a 26x2.125 so it seems to be the right size. My two main concerns are if the tire will fit okay into the frame and if the pedaling gear sprocket will line up.
