I have this idea of building an e-trekking/touring bike and would like somebody to give me frame recommendations. The idea is to build a bike that has a great autonomy and is somewhat trail capable. I am thinking about going dual battery, with the second one being installed on the rack. Here are my main requirements for the frame:
Hardtail, m510/m600 compatible, rack mounts, preferably aluminium, boost spacing. I would like the total wh to be around 2000 to be able to do 200+km on a charge. Maybe somebody knows any suitable frame?

I quite like the look of the Dengfu E14

Given all new gravel frames, for the Bafang M820, seem to be carbon, I am also considering an aluminium hardtail frame like @TeoElFeo, and I also need rack mounts.
Still can't find much if anything that would fit that bill. Ideally, it would have a geometry for short travel fork (to be replaced with a carbon fork), and a rather conservative geo, to make it work as a drop bar bike.

EDIT: Just found this one in another forum thread here:
Geo only found here:
