I had a hunch that an older 26er FS MTB would be a good ebike, and turns out I was right. Bikes of the era have 68mm bottom brackets and larger triangles. I'm only 5'7" but I wanted the large Luna pack, and with the magnetic holder it just barely fits. 3D printed magnet holders for my early SLX hydraulic levers so that the Bafang sensors would work, and got a custom length bafang harness from e-bike-technologies.de, which made the wiring super clean. Also designed and 3d printed custom combs to hold the wiring to the downtube.
Hopefully this helps someone and maybe a resurgence in these awesome early-mid 2000s MTBs as fast commuters.
