If you have $2500 to spend, the market has some good bikes and the OEM companies (Haibike, Trek, Yamaha, ....) will have models in several sizes, so at 6'2" you'll have a better fitting bike. Probably need to confine yourself to hardtails, and get "last season's model". My Yamaha SDURO, which listed about $2500 (but I paid a lot less), has worked well, although for some reason I like my BBS02-equipped DIY better..
