Custom E bike makers

A search did not show any previous threads. I was wondering what builders are offering custom ebike frames and bikes. Pricing is so high on stock bikes that it doesnt seen that it would be much more to get geomtry that one actually prefers.

Jeremy Sycip was offering pretty nifty rear-hub-based ebike conversions at one point - I saw a really sweet old Sycip 26er that he had converted into an ebike super commuter.

His website seems to have vanished off the Internet, sadly.

The downside to a custom e-bike is battery location. With most, you end up losing the DT bottle mount to the battery (where a production bike has the battery embedded in the DT).
