I think I would start with how you plan to power your new bike. What type of motor exactly? Will this be a direct drive rear hub, a gear drive rear hub, or a mid drive?
Arriving at that final decision not so easy. Even though you want this to be an "all around" bike, this decision must be made, and will affect it's performance across the board. The rest of the bike will become much more straight forward from that point. A lot of the if's, and's, buts, and maybe's will have been eliminated.

That sounds a lot like something a salesman might say. He doesn't care much what you buy, as long as you buy something. I can't imagine ANYONE with ANY riding experience that would agree with that statement. For example, endorsing the sale of a road bike to somebody planning on riding in sugar sand, because the bike "fits him". That's nonsense.
If somebody who does frames can help would be good.I wanna copy this frame(xxl) as my body is max 208 cm.I would buy tubes and make it alone.I found good web site in usa and i would order it(https://www.cycle-frames.com/bicycle-frame-tubing/TUBE-SETS/ ).It’s so much choice i have a headacke.Could you just write me what tubes to buy to fit this description?!?I saw whole sets but they seems short?.I put down picture of bike i want to make!Main things are ST(60 cm),TT(655 cm or 660 cm) and here i don’t see DT dimenssions(I need huge one).If somebody can help would be awsome.Thanks
