I need a list of required components (preferably cheaplyl sourced) and tools required. Also any changes that will need to be made to the bike and the motor used. I'm a fast learner and want to try it but I have no technical knowledge. I want a pollution free transport method but I can't afford to buy an expensive new one (cost over GBP500!). Based in UK.

You can purchase a kit for about $200 with everything you need included. Including wheels if you ened them - with 16" through 26" wheels.
Kit includes self-contained removable power unit, mounting rack, and mounting hardware. The power unit is designed for easy installation and removal so the bicycle that it is attached to can be ridden as an electric bicycle with the power unit installed, or ridden as a regular bicycle with the power unit removed.
Powered by two fresh Universal Power Group® SLA batteries with a 12 month manufacturers warranty.

I do not think this is a cost effective project at all. Anything is possible, however if needs to be pratical as well. You need to figure out an entire drive system (Including a Heavy) battery that will work with the existing pedals. I don`t see it. Habe a fun day

Since you have little mechanical knowledge I predict you will not succeed.
Adversities or look in the Newspaper for people selling cycles. Go to the new cycle dealer and ask to be given the opportunity to purchase a used trade in cycle.
(cost over GBP500!). That seems cheap for a new cycle with a guarantee!
