1 inch neck, threaded, disc brake front fork
i know someone asked this question, can't find it and i offered some answers that probably wouldn't work. i actually had what i think you were looking for in my spare room. it's off a wal-mart Viking Trail Hyper 26 inch. this fork was worn and i could not find a replacement so i red-necked welded it solid

I wouldn't put a front hub motor on it even if the dropouts were steel, which is doubtful! Well, maybe with torque arms on both sides.

There are options available on eBay. Replacement suspension fork with 1”steertube & disc brake mount should be under $80.

Watch that the threaded part of the fork you buy matches your frame. It they're not cut far enough, It's hard to cut the threads deeper. Bike shops use a hardened die and they don't really like doing. I bought an inexpensive die to do it myself and it just stopped dead on the hardened steel.
Luckily, the threads were so far away, I could convert it to a threadless stem.I had enough smooth bare metal to fit the clamping parts. You can't clamp on the threads. Too weak.

wow. threaded head tube with disk brakes. Now that is odd.
Now if we only knew who asked the original question... ;-)
