Does anyone know if there are build guides on here for newbies like me to research? Specifically budget builds?

My plan is to build on a tight budget. I picked up a very basic cheap steel frame hard tail mtb. Other than the frame itself (which has the right size BB and plenty of space for battery) everything else will likely need replacing.

I have the BBS02B 750w 48v mid drive with 52v 20.0Ah battery. Other stuff I’ve picked up so far: Eggrider v2, 42T bling ring, stabiliser bar for motor, gear shift sensor…

Needing some recommendations on stronger wheels/tyres, gears, front fork with disc brake mounts, some kind of solution for disc brakes on the rear (I’ve read that front brakes do most of the work, but still would like better rear brakes)

Anything else I’m gonna need? Any advice appreciated.
