All the geared motors are much the same, but weight makes a difference on inclines, so get a small one. Why do you want a front motor and not a back one, which is always better?

mainly because it do not make me to change anything in chainset like cassete and I do not need much power, i think that 100-150w on inclines will do to save battery. I want to go further. Does it make any sense ?

This is a topic on which Vfr400 can give good advice. . A powered front wheel is the simplest electric power option , but it does come with limitations. .. We turn the front wheel .. sounds obvious , but that means it is often out of line with the direction of travel .. which is a recipe for skidding, particularly as the weight of the bike and person is on the back wheel. A 100watt motor will certainly last twice the duration , but the assistance is very limited. ..

if you can find a 180 rpm hub motor on 26" wheel you would be at full saturation at 15mph and would be using minimal power also it would give good torque for the hills. You would need a kt system and use a low pas until you hit a hill would be my suggestion.
