Need 26-plus hard-tail frame.

Suggestions?

My next project is a woods-ebike for my wife.

My rear-drive motor (135mm wide hub) will lace up to a 24" rim with 24x3" tire.

An old Surly 1x1. They have the low side now, but I think it uses more "modern" hub styles.

Success!
After searching far and wide for a 26"+ frame I could not locate one.
I found a "Walmart Bike" Kent Saracino hardtail MTB that will serve as a great doner-bike for the aluminum 26 frame.
Not a "26+" frame, but will do the job
......everything else goes into the parts-bin or gets recycled/tossed.
The frame will take my 24x3 tires.
Wheel builds use 507x32mm rims laced up to 135mm rear-hub motor and WM MT3000 front hub.
