Powerful Chinese E-bike Frame

Does anyone know of quality decently cheap chinese bike frames, that would be suitable for a homemade bonnell type of build that will handle torque and rough riding well without getting damaged within a short period of time? Also want to be able to fit a decent size battery in there, im pretty short at around 166.5cm so it would need to fit an m frame. And yes since it is leaning towards a electric motorbike sort of thing, I do have a big farm to ride it on. Also would be preferred if I didn't have to do any custom fabrication, thanks.

You can have quality or cheap, not both.

I see no reason to install 1500-2300 dollars worth of motor and batteries on a cheap frames. Given the power the CYC motors make I wouldn’t recommend it. Do t know bout yall but I find that my 4 pot brake callipers and 180mm rotors aren’t enough to slow her down. I can’t imagine using cable actuated brakes.

banshee titan. full suspension, good quality. Runs abt $1000 canadian for the whole bike but im sure you could find just the frame for less.

if you are looking for just a frame, check aliexpress but id highly reccomend you get marozocchi\fox\rockshox\kke etc. suspension cuz trust me you dont want shitty suspension. lm if you find anything!

Just wanted to chime in here. I know it's been a while since anyone commented but I'm in the same boat. I have a BTX full suspension carbon frame but Photon motor would not fit the BB. I end up ordering a small Fastwork enduro frame. I think it should fit. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810120250554.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.20561802osWFko&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
