Are you a Sam's Bikes type of rider? Well the Ekano AL could be good for you. The Ekano is the most customisable ebike on the market, available in 27.5", mullet and 29" wheel options and very customisable even down to the stickers. You want Fox 38 and Magura MT7 on your Ekano? Just tick that box.
The Ekano packs a Shimano EP8. The Shimano 504Wh battery is a bit small, but the Ekano has a quick release mechanism so buying a second battery is an easy option if you like long rides.
The spec listed here are Propain's suggested starting points.
