late post but i would have recommended the Merida, but you dont go wrong with Trek either, i'm eager of future updates though, have fun :D

Sometimes I come across some cool accessories and I always think why didn't I had this early, so I will start first This is the best bike bell I ever had, it can barely be noticeable, and you can ring with winter gloves too, something I was struggling on my old ones I'd like to see some...

These are from today, profiting of every sunshine day, and in the weekend it's woods time

With these dark thoughts I was confronted when I decided to build an emtb with a frame from China...

If you can find these you can give them a shot, I've rided yesterday at -9 degrees and they held surprisingly well

I bet it must be a satisfying feeling... good job :]

Looks great! I didn't want to wait for the parts so long and having no fun meanwhile, I was stuck with an entry level hard tail mtb... May i ask where did you get the frame?

I'm coming with some updates, but first of all I want to thank everyone who replied and shared their thoughts. I have put things in balance and building an emtb from scratch at the moment is not worth it, I will definitely save that for the future, but for now I have decided to try a Merida...

I was actually considering this one This frame is not bad at all, but I don't know about the battery... This model i cannot find on eBay, while the darfon 504w variant I found on ebay, any idea of these batteries, how reliable are they?

I've looked on their official website and I couldn't find these models e08 e10, I wonder why they hide stuff, the problem with this frame is there's not a cup support, I can't pay hundreds or a thousand+ for a frame without a cup holder support.

Thank you for reply, I've documented myself further and it's not an easy one, need to wait until April/May for the parts to come... And I have nothing against bafang but at 3K+ I can't pick bafang over Shimano.

I never knew it was this difficult to find a frame for an E Bike, I've looked for aluminium ones, for bafang as well and wasn't able to find what I'm looking for... If this makes my life difficult I might consider one straight from a seller...

Yeah, won't argue with you about that, but on top of that I can't even find variable frames...

So I've looked up a little, I've found these on eBay The problem is, I'm having a hard time finding a frame compatible with Shimano E8000 motor and 8035 Battery, I've found one a little limited as it's on 27.5 and with 2.35" tire limit and some other frame supporting 8000 but with a Darfon...

Hmm haven't thought about that, are there manufacturers who makes that part easily to manipulate in such cases?

Enduro, I would also consider used parts, mainly I want to find a good frame, because the other parts you can upgrade.

I will do an extensive research tonight and see what I'll find, will certainly update shortly.

Thank you, I will definitely need to check those out, a friend has a bafang motor and suggested it to me, so it's not excluded

i dont know with the frames, is there a list of trusted sites from where you can get frames, on this forum ?

to be honest the Merida eOne forty 5000 XL is now at 4k€, pretty tempting, but i dont want to rush yet.
