Drum brakes don't kick like a disc does. If you look at the fork crown to fork leg intersection, its done in just about the cheapest way possible. Suitable for v brakes forces and normal riding, not for a hub motor. been a few failures on brompton forks (they are lugged and built well enough) where folk have put them swytch kits on them.

surely if it already had a drum brake installed the fork would be designed (at the very least) to handle some force in that area?
