Answer
Electric bikes usually have a limited range power limits and/or limited speed. Most cyclist find that they are not a great deal of help and after a relatively short distance they will actually slow them down.
There are many different versions of electric bike.most fall into these categories.
Friction drive.. They have a roller of some type that runs onto the tyre.
Hub motors electric motor built into either the front or rear wheel.
Chain or belt drives. Either feed into the crank system or drive one of the wheels separately.
To find a kit do a general search on electric bike kits.
Here is a few that I know of. (I'm biased toward the last group there are a bit more efficient)

Answer
you have several options.
Giant will be coming out with a new model this spring, check out your Giant Ebike Dealer, or
Bird Ebike in Colorado if you don't have one.
Next is the Bionx ebike add on kit, can be added to most bikes.
Also Crystalyte hub motors can be added to most Mountain bikes.
Buy from a good dealer, locally if you can.
we have several ebikes including Giant bionx, Crystalyte and others.
Your best choice will depend on quite a few factors. but first make sure where they are legal in your locality. State of NY doesn't like them.
Legal electric assist Ebikes are generally considered bicycles if they comply with the federal law HR727- Max 750watts, pedals that work, maximum 3 wheels, maximum 20mph under power. but there are exceptions so check locally.
