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)

Electric Bike?
Q. Hey I'm going to be moving a ways away from my kung fu school. So I will have to bike there but we are talking like 30 miles away at least. So my question is if anyone knows what that bike adapter kit is where it lets you switch between pedaling and driving?
Answer
there are allot of electric bikes and kits out there, but the problem is weight, performance, and distance per charge, remember, if you use those batteries for 10-20 Miles they are bone dry, and you have to pedal with an additional 80 pounds of weight, so you think, i ll add more batteries, but then you add more weight, then you need a bigger motor, so on and so forth, to have a more efficient setup you would need lighter batteries that last longer, lithium ion, or nickle metal hybrid, but they are very pricey, and you would need allot of them.
electric biking is not yet a transportation alternative, unless your going very short distance.
but if you wait, I'm currently working on a revolutionary concept for power assisted bicycles that will be available on the market for the summer of 2007 and will give you a 250 mile autonomy, and will only add 9.2lbs.
