Fwiw my mate (who's a money squandering idiot/pioneering early adopter depending on how you see it) did something like this to a pompetamine using bionX things a few years ago. It was supposed to be the ultimate e-bike commuter but it's been nothing but trouble, two engine and battery replacements under warranty so far. In the end I think he got tired of it and made it back into a normal bike. YMMV obviously but it seems like the fancy stuff (bionx) is/can be unreliable.
