The 2-strokes are very cheap, but they have to be adjusted frequently.
I bought the kits from kingsmotorbikes.com
Ditto. The two-strokes are ridiculous, finicky, messy and loud. An e-bike would be better, easier to use and maintain, quiet, cheap to fuel and a lot more reliable. Just be forewarned: Even the lightest e-bike kit will add approximately 16lbs (ie. Bionx P250 SLHT) or more and cost upwards of $1300.00 (Bionx kits are closing in on $2000 now).

And if you do go the e-bike route keep in mind that regardless of how you conduct yourself there will always be some narrow minded, linear thinking, self-righteous, elitist ****** bag(s) who will roll up to you at intersections to volunteer their prejudiced, often horribly uninformed and generally worthless opinions regarding e-bikes/e-bike riders, regardless of whether you solicited that information or not. It sucks but it happens.
Good luck and happy riding.
