where can I find a motor or generator for a regular speed bike?

Question

I am looking for something to add to my bike to propel it. I have a bike not a motor bike so please help!

Answer 1

If you are able bodied and work at it you will find that a power assisted bike doesn't aid you much.(may even slow you down)

Here is a link that shows a reasonable priced brushed motor made by Unite motors.

If you want the best efficiency

There are a heap of kits out, if you do a general search on power assist kits you will come up with quite a few.

Generally the hub kits are not as good as the ones that drive into your crank system. But still a lot better that friction drive. I prefer electric to fuel. (the pollution ,noise & dinosaur juice)

Be careful of your local road laws.

Here is a couple more links to kits I know of.
