2021 Motobecane HAL e29. About to order. Am I crazy?

[pufferjumper]

I have been searching for an emtb, and this one seems to have decent components at a reasonable price. I have a Motobecane hard tail, and it has been solid. Am I crazy for thinking of spending $2,700 on a Motobecane?

you're crazy!! get YT decoy... j/k
I have their older version which is motobecane E27plus, they keep changing the name and specs. back then in January, it came with 27plus tires, and E7000 motor, it was $2500, same exact frame.
the new one from your link comes with E6100 motor, 29er wheel, and $2700.
Overall, mine is a good buy, solid performance, no issue so far. I did swapped the fork, shock, brakes, and dropper (came from my old bikes). and the motor, also no issue, almost 1500 miles already.
Go get it before it's sold out. and I suggest you to size up if you're in between.
Mine is Medium and I'm 5'8", the frame is a bit small for me, large maybe a better fit for me, but I get used to it now.

They're very good bikes. I bought the Hal eBoost Pro e-mtb last year with the mentality that it was going to be a rolling frame build since I already knew which parts I wanted to swap out.
