Anything about motorising bikes, with refit kits or as-new. Electric and petrol are the two most common fuels.

This is a grey topic, and that a tag exists does not mean it is on-topic for Bicycles.SE

Some people want to fit a motor on their otherwise functional bicycle.

Some fit a noisy smelly polluting petrol motor with a tiny cylinder and displacement about the same as a shot glass, and the inability to start rolling without pedal assistance.

Others fit a more modern electric motor to an existing bicycle and find a way to strap some batteries in as well.
