Hello,
I'd like to do my first ebike conversion: for a hardtail MTB to a hardtail eMTB.
I'm 1.93m, 85kg. The bike will mainly be used on flat surface with slicks and a locked out rockshox fork to commute to the office. However, I still want it to be a MTB to be able to have good fun in the forest with my friends. The bike needs to be L/XL and have 29" wheels. I want it to travel ~30kph without pedaling, and ~40-50kph with pedaling.
The level of assistance should be adjusted with thumb gas, 1-3 or 1-4 settings.
I want the motor to take me to at least 40kph, when I would padel at a rate of 20kph without the engine. Is this possible with a 750w engine? If so, how long does a fully loaded 15Ah battery last?
I live in the Netherlands. Ebay is not filled with great parts here, and parts on the German Amazon cost tons of money. Now I'm considering purchasing the following:
Thanks!

- A Bafang 48V 750W engine directly from Aliexpress @ € 376.05 (free shipping) -> do I need to pay import tax?
- A 48V 15Ah LiFePO4 battery from BMS Battery @ €461.53 incl shipping -> do I need to pay import tax?
- One of the following Kona bikes from €350 - €450 -> will these be good donor bikes?
