I am looking to build a mid-drive hunting/trail bike. I live and play in the mountains of rural NE California. My budget is around $2K, but I can stretch higher. I am unsure if I want a 27.5+ or a fit tire. I think I want a hardtail for simplicity. I will be buying a used bike or frame for the conversion. I know I want hydraulic disc brakes, quality components, the ability to attach/build a rear rack, and the ability to attached a Bob trailer. I am pretty sure I will be using a bbshd for the mid-drive.
What bikes/frames do you recommend I look for in this ebike build? There are so many out there, I am looking for some direction on where to start.
