I just use a violamart front hub motor, it was a very cheap package costing me about £100-110 with the battery an additional purchase. I bought a cheap s/hand mountain bike for £5, a 48V 12.5Ah battery for about £140-150 and a 7 speed freehub rear wheel for £10 including postage. The mountain bike originally came with low end single wall rim wheels, the whole bike cost me about £300 in build costs but with the parts I didn't need I guess I have £20-30 of parts to sell although they will probably end up on a beater bike frame I have.
