Answer
It's kinda late to think about building an electric bike when you are in a hurricane. Also, save your money up - it is a lot easier to buy one than it is to build one - at least a reliable one. I built an electric bike from a kit, and the kit cost $400. It wasn't very reliable so I bought a good reliable one for about $1300.

How to convert a standard bike to an electric?

stopwit

I have a 21-speed bike with 3 large sprockets, then 7 smaller sprockets in the back wheel. The wheels are 24", and I was hoping not to ave to replace the sprockets. I was wondering how I could convert the bike to an electric with a hub motor in the back. I'd like if you could tell me the cost of ALL the parts, including the battery, controller, hub motor, etc. Also, are there any bike conversion kits under $400? I'm on a budget, $400 or below, and I really want to switch the bike to electric.
What kind of battery should I get, and how much would it cost? A nice 15-25 mph is okay.
