best step through electric bikes image

I'm a girl who would like to edit her current bike to make an electric bike (because who is anyone kidding, most of the electric bikes are catered to men.) Does anyone know of a free online source that goes through the step by step process of building an electric bike?
PS. Made from scratch kits are okay too

How are you going to cope with higher fuel costs?

I am looking into converting a car to electric, probably an electric car with an onboard alternator. I have taken steps to increase my fuel economy ie my driving habits, organizing my trips for running errands, making sure I have the correct air pressure (on the high end) in the tires, etc.
What are you doing?
Answer
To the first poster... It is cheaper to charge an electric car (both for you the consumer, and less pollution overall to generate the electricity). The cost of gasoline is more expensive compared to your electric bill to charge a car!!!
An electric car would be nice. An electric motorcycle would be even better (other than it would be heavy). A cruiser style would work well because they usually have a lower center of gravity by design.
What I'm doing...
All vehicle tires are pumped to max pressure (watching for tire wear issues, balding in the center).
Watch air filters closely.
Park in parking spots where I can pull through (so that I do not have to back out of the spot, less movement and idle time).
Slower cruising speeds. Running 80 consistantly in my truck I get 17-18. 75 = 18-19. Just did a 270mi trip runnin 70 and I got 21.5mpg. It will pay for itself over time, plus in the distance I drove, it cost me about 35min in travel time, but I had the time to spare...
i've been riding my motorcycle a lot when weather permits. I altered the final drive ratio by changing the sproket sizes (chain drive) and was able to gain 6mpg on my bike!
