this is far from a complete answer, I've just started learning how to restore vintage bikes. But I know the hub is the circular metal peice that allows the tires to spin. It is in the middle of each tire where the spokes meet. I know this cuz I have a early 1930's Montgomery ward cruiser that needs a new back hub. hope that helps.
The Bicycle Hub the is the central part of a bicycle wheel it is circular and is connected to the spokes, at the bike hubs centre are bearings and this is where the spindle is fitted to allow rollling.

∙ 7y agoA bicycle hub is a metal sleeve. On the inside there's a pair of bearings that allows the hub to turn on the axle, on the outside there is a pair of flanges providing a place to anchor the spokes that connects the hub to the rim.
For rear hubs there's also (usually) a sprocket sitting on a pawl-and-ratchet mechanism that allows the wheel to both drive and coast.
The hub may also have a mounting flange for brake rotors, or a drum brake, or have a drum brake integrated.
Some rear hubs have planetary gears inside.
Some front hubs have a dynamo integrated.

No. there are quite a few other places where you can add an electric motor to a bicycle. However, the hub motor is quite probably the one which requires the least amount of changes to the rest of the bike.
How is the front wheel on a bicycle different from the rear wheel?
