Best eBike brands overall

Hey everyone!

Been lurking for a bit and finally decided to jump in and start a discussion. I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on the "best eBike brands overall" out there, especially when thinking about long-term ownership and potential DIY upgrades. Are there certain brands known for their robust frames, easy-to-source parts, or just generally being a solid platform to build upon or modify down the line? I'm mostly looking at commuter/light trail hardtails, maybe 50-100 mile range.

What brands have you found to be consistently reliable and a good foundation for tinkering? Let's hear your experiences!
