installing motor kit...

[fast eddie]

if a motor kit is put onto a bicycle does the rear hub need to be threaded on both sides to that a sprocket can be attached? does anyone know where i could do a lil homework on how to motorize a bicycle?

The dual-sprocket rear hub (eg from Currie) is one kind of motor kit, yes.

There are also kits that come with a complete front or rear wheel with hub motor, and kits that drive the existing chain near or at the bottom bracket.

Having owned a dual-sprocket gearhead-motor bike I'd recommend going for a brushless motor if you can afford it, gearhead motors are sooo noisy.
