The battery you want to buy from a reputable dealer.

When I was digging into it e3ev seemed like a reputable dealer
https://em3ev.com/

The other one that was well recommended was Grin out of Vancouver

The Grin website is a good staring point for figuring out what you want.

I had planned to buy a bafeng geared hub motor and controller off of AliExpress and then the battery from em3ev. Was going to be about 1100-1200. But then they put the Rad bikes on clearance for 1400 so I picked up one of those instead.

I do sort of wish I had built my own a bit as I could have gotten 54 volt instead of 48 and would have been on a nicer bike.

Your first decision to make is front hub vs rear hub va mid drive.
