Thinking of a dual suspension bike to replace the hardtail-what is the one you would recommend as an easy match to the BBS and why? Preferably one with a suitable bb avoiding the need for any adaptor.

I'm extremely happy with my 2006 Cannondale Prophet. 68mm bottom bracket, elevated chainstays so no chainring interference. Slack geometry for stable riding at speed. Relatively lightweight. 5.5" travel. Fairly inexpensive.
Unfortunately no good spots for a battery, but that's the case with most fill-suspension bikes. I ride with by 50V battery in a camelbak and I prefer the bike's handling with the battery off of the bike.

You would check rear right arm of bike frame if doesn't influence kit too much. Some people are using washers to keep clearance but then kit is shifted to right side and chainline is poor. I had to grind a bit from motor aluminum gearbox to don't use washers and have proper chainline. I have Lapierre Tecnic FS900 frame.

I've got a 750w BBS on a 2006 Kona Dawg, works very well with a triangle battery from EM3EV.
