I can't find a frameset only option. Do you have a link?
 
Dengfu offers frames not only Bafang motors, but also at least for Dji and Shimano motors.

Markhor offers frames for Bafang motors.

Please provide links and ideally model name, travel and motor and up update the list

I do not know specification, there is a lot of Dengfu frames. Here is a Dengfu frame for Dji

Re Dengfu and other companies: I think we should only include ones that have launched and can be ordered, and that are available with motor, battery, etc. For example the Dengfu Avinox doesn't seem to be out yet and the Dengfu Shimano frame isn't listed as available with motor.

Norco Sight VLT CX should probably make the list.

Technically it's a full bike, but the lowest "C3" spec ($6,700) has the same carbon frame and motor/battery as all the other Sight and Range models. Basically a frame only option that happens to come with free parts.

Looks like this is a German or Austrian bike shop site. Maybe a Trek dealer, but I don't think Trek sells frames only for their e-bikes. I can't find anything on their website.
 
Someone mentioned some of these.

Velduro Rogue (DJI)
Teewing Flux (DJI, supposedly will be available frame only)
LightCarbon has a few, mostly Bafang. LCE971 and LCE930 are most popular

Let's not go down that rabbit hole, because where do you draw the line? I paid about that price for a Transition Relay on discount, for example, or the basic Amflow isn't much above that. Good deal, though.

The reason we should definitely go down that rabbit hole is that when you cull this list for frames that ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY EXIST, it gets incredibly short very quickly.

Let's draw that low-spec build line at $7k ignoring any discounts that might evaporate tomorrow. That seams to be about what frames are going for right now.

Looking forward to the Avonix frame kit availability

Makes no sense. There are at least 10 bikes on JensonUSA that are less than $7k retail before discounts.

In terms of available only: I tried to stick to that - ones where manufacturers list them and it's possible to order them. If any should be removed or flagged, please let me know.
