sellers are giving me strange details like 200rpm or 50kpm and I'm pretty sure the rpm was counted with out weight. Also what do you think would be the best battery?
Answer
Your speed on level ground with no pedaling will vary. If you have more than 750 watts power or go over 20mph then the bike is not an electric assist bicycle, but rather legally considered a motorcycle.

The best battery is Lithium Iron Phosphate, but those will cost as much as the whole bike. The standard ebike comes with a sealed lead acid battery.

Is about $500 shipped to a store you choose for pickup. That is usually less exensive than doing a conversion yourself. The price for this bike has gone up a lot. I paid $375 for it 2 years ago.

Gas conversion kit?

Anyone ever use one of these things? I came across it on ebay earlier and it looks like a fun project. I'd obviously not put it on my competition bike, but a could see picking up an inexpensive single speed bike to use it on.
Below is a link to reference.

Nice, if you would or could read carefully, I noted that it wasn't intended for my competition bike but rather as a project.
Hope that answers your question of "Why bother?" .... genius
Answer
The chances are, that an 80cc petrol motor will make it illegal to ride on the roads. Most states and countries have limits that apply to power assisted bicycles. Check the laws at your location. (Canada is it?)
Many places require a vehicle with an engine of this size to be registered and the chances of getting a bicycle fitted with one approved are virtually zero.
There are similar things using 32 cc weed-eater motors that you will stand a much better chance with. There are also plenty of electric kits that you can get.
In my opinion fitting an engine (noisy or not) to a bicycle kind of kills the enjoyment. (but that is just me). I have experience motorising something similar to a fully faired recumbent trike.That was quite an interesting project. I'm itching to do another one.
