Sounds like a good setup, Should work fine.

If you keep the 2 speed you will have to keep the mech brakes and reverse. I recently completed a conversion on an aftershock. I used a tdr single speed hub which removes the 2 speed spur gears and allow the use of the bolt on 2nd speed gears. The aftershock has the forward only trans, so I can use the motor brakes and reverse. It works fine, and the MMM has plenty of power for brake and reverse. All of the tdr products are available on the lst forum, not sure if you are a member there, but it is the best place for lst info. If you want to keep the 2 speed, RCM makes an adapter that allows the use of the stock lst clutchbell gears with a 5mm shaft motor. You will need to make a motor mount, or buy the recently released tdr mount.
