A lot of folks are converting older 26" mountain bikes (MTB's) into cruisers, hybrids, or gravel bikes. And a bunch get converted to eBikes every year. Good used light weight air forks are available on the next in the 1,500~1,650 gm range (some with lock-outs), so the sky's the limit on what you might want to do there ... Some make good gravel and medium trail bikes, or just beer bikes
