Hi
Looking to either buy / build a low cost emtb ebike (~2K) for riding on basic trails and wet sand on beach. Im 55 post knee op so not about extreme sports any more :( .
In my favor, I have an engineering background and the toolshed so not scared to start building (rebuilt car motors, renoed 3 houses, have electronics and computer skills).

Did a lot of reading and feel Not a hub motor, needs to be mid drive. 40mm 27.5 plus rims, 3" tyres, preferably dual suspension over hard tail (yeah I get the plus tyres are softer but im old !). Alumin frame is fine and price would be an issue going CF. Motor similar to Bfang M500 or Bosch around 250/350Watts. Need speed limit to 25 and pedelec to meet regs.

What are your suggestions ? I'm guessing 2K isnt enough?

Cheers
pete
