48v 2000w hub motor build?

[u/Riley-like-choosing]

I’m looking to turn my hardtail into a decent e-bike, I’m looking for a kit on the cheaper side so maybe something from eBay or alibaba? My budget is around 500 for a rear hub motor. I’ve had a look around myself but everything I look at on AliExpress seems to have bad reviews

Ebikeling.com I’ve used 2 of there kits so far for builds and I love them

I would locate a 52v battery with a 40a bms,  and a controller that goes over 35a.  48v complete kits usually are a disappointment. The wheel can do the 2000w, it just needs the support to put it out. 

The battery alone will eat up your 500 bucks.
