Merida Full suspension Ebike with Bafang Questions

[Savco]

Are there issues fitting mid mount drives to full suspension mtb bikes, given that the rear suspension operates inside the frame space?
I'm looking at buying a Merida XT edition full suspension mountain bike to fit a Bafang motor kit on.

You should be fine. Just check the BB (bottom bracket) size of the Merida so that you know which Bafang kit to get. Also check the amount of space if you want to mount the battery inside the frame. The rear shock takes up some space.

Is this the bike you're thinking of?

You can.... it just means you will have a mid-sized pack with poor battery placement.
