You need an alder style bike e.g pre 2010 ish to make the conversion really simple, most new full suspension bikes don't have space to fit the battery etc.

Also the bottom bracket on the new ones is sometimes a press fit where as the older bikes are the standard screw type.

This is a bafang 1000watt conversion from aliexpress. Cost is circa $1800 with battery.

You need to do a bit of research to make sure things fit and are compatible but heaps of examples online as these seem to be the most popular motor. Good thing is they actually have a throttle not just peddle assist so if you need to push you can gently throttle it up steep stuff
