Choosing a very good commuter emtb

[BikeNesia]

Hi im new here and this is my first time posting anything pertaining to emtb, I currently ride those high end xc mtb from the old school never owned a new mtb so now im looking to go all out on a emtb as im going to use it for going to work and for rides like I do for my xc mtb, after going to my local bike store and things changing here in nyc I have decided that I want to use my new bike for going to work a commuter bike as well, but im use to the full suspension, as I can see im looking at specialize bikes as I use to own one before i started riding jamis.
Now im looking at the specialize line up of bike the guys at the shop is suggestion to me is to go with the specialized vado sl 5.0, i test ride the bike and its really nice, but I also see that there are trail bikes that specialize also have, I like trails and street long distance riding allot.
So im trying to see if theres a ebike from specialize that can do both fairy ok without breaking the bank into 10k im looking at a max of 5500 as of right now, if anyone I like me or knows more than I do in ebikes there are so many, i really like specialize and would prefer them I like the moto and the extender battery as well, I will like to hear your take on this.
The velo as i can tell theres no way to add fenders or a back rack so im not expecting this to be the bike. Thank you all for our time.

The Vados aren't full suspension bikes, just front fork. It may be what you want anyway for roads with rack and fenders, but Specialized makes off road full suspension eBikes as well.

The Specialized bikes with EQ after their names have a rack and fenders (Equipped) and the off road full suspension ebikes are the Kenevo and Levo, both of which can be harder to find then the road bikes (Creo, Como, and Vado) post Covid, but still aren't $10,000+ bikes unless you want to spend on carbon fiber, electric shifting, and etc.

Commuter bikes and full suspension bike are different species. Likely all you will need is a good air fork on a hardtail. The tires for street riding and for trail riding are also separate species. I like and use Specialized bikes. One option that costs money is to have two thru axle wheelsets: One for fast and hard city streets and one for casual Upstate dirt. Given what you have described, here is an alternative $6,000 option. The company has domestic sales and service support and a 14-day free return shipping, no questions asked return policy.
