These are typically found in older American-made bikes and American children's bikes.  Some cruiser bikes for the American market still use this style. Note: (Adapt your bottom bracket to the BSA/JIT English threaded type that mid-drive motors require. Most bikes that originally sold for less than $1500 or are older than 2013 have English threaded bottom brackets and you are good to go. If you have a square tapered spindle for your cranks then you have the required threaded bottom bracket. Around 2012 many higher-end bikes started being fitted with various press-fit bottom brackets many of which can be adapted to English threaded so you can still do a mid-drive motor conversion on them. However, there are some exceptions. For an in-depth article on adapting various bottom brackets and the exceptions see this thorough article by Matt Hughes.) EBC recommends using Loctite 641 or other sleeve retaining compound on the adapter and on the inside of the BB shell case before installing to help keep the bottom bracket solid and to keep some motors like Bafang from rotating. Use Loctite 7649 spray for a quick set if you are going to ride it the same day.
