I just got an E bike myself and have browsed the E forums here And there is a lot of conversations in there about do it yourself projects and tinkering. Personally I just got an off the shelf specialized levo. I have spoken about it here in the mountain bike area, Because at its heart, the bike is a Stumpjumper, but mostly I just talk about the modifications I’ve done to personalize it for my needs and all of these mods are things I would have to do to any bicycle, motor or not but like yourself I have looked at the prospect of putting an aftermarket rear axle on it that can pull a trailer.
