For starters you'll likely encounter the same problem I did. Local area bike shops sell the same brand electric as their non-electric which are European, like Trek and Specialized. Those electrics are built to comply with Euro regulations which require much lower power and speed limitations than what we have in the US. For example, Euro electrics are limited to 250w motors where US motors can be 750w - a big deal! Euro spec bikes can't have throttles - pedal assist only...and their motors cut off with pedal assist greater than 15.5mph...bleh.
For US spec bikes the only option I found is online vendors.
