I finally bit the bullet and got an ebike. Velectrix Adventurer. It’s pretty much a step through mountain bike, so it has front suspension, dropper post, fat tyres, and a stronger motor.
It also comes with mud guards, a rack, and integrated lights wired to the battery. Plus it has hydraulic brakes, which feels like the necessary minimum for an ebike.
There are higher spec bikes out there, but this is all I need for a 15km trip to work that I’ll do a few days a week in between regular bike rides.
I could have gone even more basic with the Velectrix Brunswick, but I thought my girlfriend could ride this one because of the frame and dropper post. It seems a little big, but I’d like to get her on there
I think it’s the best use case for an ebike. The step through frame makes it comfortable to use and the mid-drive has a bit more power than a hub motor

I want my next bike to be a step through mid-drive.

Very cool, sounds like it’ll be fun to ride! Enjoy!
I’m looking at the trails near home to see if I can make the most if its mountain bike DNA to get to work faster
