hey everyone, i need help designing an e-mtb. i'm basically starting from scratch, don't have a bike, need to buy all of it. this is what i'm looking for:

- full suspension
- 750-1000w non-hub motor
- 20-ish Ah battery
- throttle + PAS
- great for climbing 5+ miles hills without overheating
- top speed doesn't need to be super high, 30mph or so

i need a recommendation about the best bike to buy and all the parts needed to put it together. there are so many little variables i need someone to look into and figure out all the requirements for little spacers and connectors and everything. my budget for the finished bike is $4k so i'm looking for a used bike to start.

i have an electric cargo bike that i built from scratch (xtracycle frame, GMAC hub motor, 16ah 52v battery), so i think i can put it all together myself if someone has done the detailed analysis of what i need to buy.

if that sounds like fun, i'm happy to pay a reasonable price for the help! thank you!
 
You could just order a Frey AM1000. It will meet all your requirements and be under your budget. It takes a while to get it though.

MTA: My understanding is the programming of the controller was initially rough, but there is a new configuration/tuning that solves that problem. Before that people were getting big improvements to efficiency and smoothness by upgrading to the controller from Watt Wagons.
