Looking for suggested e-bike for newbie commuter.

[Frankkarr]

So looking for a durable and dependable e-bike for 10 mile one way hilly trip to work. I am around 230 pounds and still slowly dropping wieght. I run about 20 miles a week but only a bike couple miles once and while. I would like something between 800 and 1500 dollars. Any tips or suggestions would be great. Thank you.

If you are only willing to spend $800 don't bother with an e-bike, you will be very disappointed in anything at that price. Best one I can think of at $1500 is Rad bikes, they have 2 viable commuter options, the Rad city or Rad rover both priced at $1499. If you are willing to spend a little more, Juiced bikes has 2 bikes at $1699 that are complete with everything you need for commuting, rear racks, fenders, lights, etc. The bikes are the Cross Current S and Rip Current S.
