Welcome aboard! Lots of good info on the site and several threads about trikes too. (I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with one myself, to offer input.)

Welcome to the forum!

What kind of bike are you looking for and what are your needs? The most common suggestion here is to find a good local bike shop (LBS) who can help you choose a bike and then support it (and you). Servicing an e-bike is in some ways more complicated than an "acoustic" bike and a good dealer is worth it's weight in gold. There are plenty of stories here from folks who have bought something online and then had problems, either in assembling or configuring the bike. And I think it's really important to be able to try a bike before buying it and specifically in the size you need. I bought a major brand bike but it was the last 2019 of that model left in all of Canada and had to have it shipped from across the country. I'd tried a medium frame bike at my LBS and decided I needed the small frame so that's what I got. I wish I'd have been able to actually try a small frame in that model before buying as then I would have realized that the bike was small not just in height of the frame (stand-over) but compressed front to back also. I then had to buy an extended stem for my handlebars to get them further away and a seat post to move the seat further back. This is something that my local dealer would have checked and customized for me as part of his normal service.

Anyway, good luck with your search.
