I've been going down the E-Bike rabbit hole lately and was wondering if there would be interest in adding a section to the forum? Not sure if there are any good direct from manufacturer bikes/parts available yet?

Definitely! Maybe separate sections such as frames, batteries, wheels & components would be my suggestion.

Definitely this.

As it gets more popular, this will be great information to have. I've been debating about building a CX E-bike for the wife and I'll be needing this. The wife hasn't approved the allocation of funds yet but it's on my list. She hasn't been riding as much due to a neck issue and doesn't want to ride for as long as I do. We are building a house on the coast of Maine and it would be great to have a couple CX bikes to keep us moving. Mountain riding is out for her for now.

There's not a lot of chinese e-bike frames I can find online so it will be good to have a dedicated forum to pool information.

Carbonda has one that is very interesting for gravel, using the fazua engine:

But a brand seems to have snapped it already, and is not available for individual sale, like what happened with their flagship CFR505.
A pity, but it shows a mold exist, and we probably could find some others.

Absolutely! If my enduro build goes well I want to do an ebike build.
