Lot of stuff to unpack, and some of those wishes you wont be able to achieve. 1. are you sure u want 20 inch tires? for FL, I get the fat bike use case, sand mud, etc. not a lot of mtns. sure. why not go for a fat bike, 27.5 or 29 x 3-4" tires. 2. Folding? not a ton of good folding fat bike options out there, but they exist, gotta find the right frame that suits u just right. There are premade folding ebikes, but here we advise against premade bikes or hub motors. 3. batteries - a single 52v 28Ah can get u you the range you want - 40-50 miles easy. check out Unit Pack Power 52v 28Ah. 4. For your use case I recommend a BBS02 750w motor, plenty of power for your terrain and its legal everywhere. 5. The list of NOs: NO belt drives work with ebike kits, NO TERN or whatever hub motors you listed are recommended at all. NO lack of maintenance on a bike, like anything it needs some 6. youll generally want aluminum frame and wheels, not carbon composite. tannus armour, easy and recommended. set your wheels up and forget it with tannus. 7. u can put whatever gizmos cameras and do hickeys on the bike u want. dyor. to conclude, DYOR finding the best fat bike frame that fits you, is suitable for a mid drive conversion (BB must be compatible, hard tails are easier to convert, a full susp folding fat bike frame is going to be near impossible to find). good luck.
