My "standard" aluminum frame DIY e-MTB weighs like 70 lbs, this thing looks like it has a steel frame so I bet it's at least double that. I'd hate for the battery to run out of juice mid-ride, a 1% incline would feel like a mountain.
Still there is a rather large area for the battery to be in. In combination with some newer batteries, it could work

Fairly impossible for newer bikes, anything that looks like it came from the 80s is probably steel, even if it's recent
