Here about 2 years ago my wife bought me a motor for my bicycle. These are production motor kits designed to put right no a bicycle and are 50cc two strokes.Kit includes everything you need including the chain sprockets and gas tank. There are several sites that sell them and most are well under $200. I think mine was $135 with shipping.
If you put lights and mirror on them, most states allow them on the road with out a drivers license. As they are considered mopeds and under 50cc's. They usually average about 100 mpg. With the way things are getting some people may want to check into putting one on a bike to do running around.
There is a design where there is 2 wheels in front with a box and you put the rest of the bike in the back with the motor. These make great delivery carts or even a cheap transportation for doing grocery runs.
BTW: you can peddle, use the motor or both if you want. At a 100 miles to the gallon, it might be a great alternative when things start to tighten up.
