I'm looking into buying an ebike with Bafang Ultra motor. I found a Chinese company on Alibaba and they sent me some specs. As I'm new to ebikes and bikes in general, I'm not sure whether the bike is using good components and such. Can someone look at the specs and share their thoughts on the quality with recommendation on what you would think is best for me?
I will likely ride 90% street and 10% trail, mostly for commute to work on paved bike path with occasional weekend excursions.
My top interests right now are:
Luna BABE $2963 (tax included w/ local pickup)

Luna Enduro X1 Standard Version ~$3987 (tax included w/ local pickup)
https://lunacycle.com/x1-enduro-ebike/
Frey AM1000 Base Spec ~$2990 includes shipping
Price is a factor, so Enduro X1 and Frey AM1000 High-End Spec are both a big stretch budget wise. But since this will be a one time purchase that I plan on using for years, I don't want to rule it out. I need something that will be reliable in the long-term,
I'm also wondering if Luna BABE can be configured with a fat road tire as well or is that a bad idea?
Thanks in advance!
