Do you need a fat bike or just want one ? after building a few, my observations do not get one with a steel frame as they are 35kg plus before the motor and battery are fitted.
If you want a legal rear hub motor ready built bike buy from woosh in Southend if they have any stock left
The mid drive versions are rare and importing from china attracts duty and vat with very high shipping costs [think double the printed cost to import one ]
The mid drive diy conversion kits cost more about a third to half £ over a standard motor kit but make for great fun bikes with plenty of power
