The primary issue is torque anchoring. If you've got disc brakes then there are options depending on the caliper location (all the hailbike photos seem to be taken from the drivetrain side). Study the options provided by Rohloff https://www.rohloff.de/en/service/handbook/speedhub/assembly/torque-anchoring although if you provide a photo of the left side rear dropout area then we can see if there are other possibilities.

Secondary issues are (a) the width between rear dropouts needs to suit one of the Rohloff sizes and (b) the chainline should be close that that recommended by Rohloff for the hub (~55mm for the 135mm size). There may be other e-bike related considerations such as that discussed at https://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/e-14.

Do you mean Haibike?

It’s in German, but there is a YouTube video on fitting a Rohloff to a Haibike in this link:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ABTAoqJlDFQ (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ABTAoqJlDFQ)

If you rather just still pictures of conversion… use the pause button   ;)
