Hello, I have a kit kit (wheel 26, which has an engine on it, and a battery with high power = heavy compared to the standard batteries.) It's mainly for urban riding, but a little bit for space. Strength, ease, and durability)
And ask more specifically:
1. Which chassis, aluminum or steel?
2. Full down or hard tail?
3. Do they need to be of brands, or any appropriate bicycles?
Thank you very very much!!
 
You ride in space?
It's a very general question, so I will give you general answers.
Don't buy the cheapest and for "urban" riding, you don't need the latest "trick" bike.
The fact you have a 26" wheel, means you can look for a used mountain bike say, 4 to 8 years old. A decent mountain bike that is now out dated, is still great for the street. I like full suspension, something w/ 4 or 5 inches of travel and it should have disc brakes.
I assume your "high power" battery is fairly big, so you should look for for a bike w/ an "open triangle", space for the battery. A bike w/ a rear shock and space for the battery is a little hard to find, but there are some out there.

I like MTB's for urban riding currently using a hardtail with air forks on the ebike and its soft and plush to ride. I also have a f/s bike it shines for jumping curbs and doing bunny hops or anything fun. They are a little springy but I like them.

Cruisers have there place too , know to ride like Cadillacs due to the steel weight and style a large easy platform for modifications :D

Your question does miss an essential factor: performance.

Recommendation of a frame, does require to know how much power you’re gonna build on it, and how fast you plan to ride.
 
"DON'T BUY ANYTHING until you know exactly what kind of bottom bracket shell the bike has."
"be especially careful when selecting a bike 2012 and newer because the chances of having a non BSA/JIS bottom bracket shell increases."
