BikeE had two recalls I know of. There was a strut on the seat that would break. Any competent welder could sand off the aluminum finish and tack it back together. The recall fix simply pinched the end of the strut before welding providing a better connection. The other recall and the death

A bike E which I think is a brand had recalls.  It also has the front crank in a box frame.  Not the easiest to use common mid drive. Hub motor might be best.  Bionx maybe but they are expensive.  I think Lee's idea might be best but it will be unusual.  On standard bikes a mid drive is an easy

It is important to keep in mind that an e-bike (and a motorcycle) are a "brick" aerodynamically. That is, e-bikes have a very high drag coefficient, like 0.5 or more. There is not much you can do about it, besides things that are unacceptable to most bicycle riders like enclosures and
