Hey, so this is my first post and I was hoping to get some insight into e-bikes. Thanks in advance for the help
So I've been working a bike delivery job for some time now and I've been interested in e-bikes. I tend to ride anywhere between 20-30 miles a day on mostly flat city streets so I was looking for models that had a range of 40 just in case. I'd like the bike to have pedals and assumably pedal-assist to make use of the range and would prefer it to be lighter weight. It wouldn't need a rack, but accessories are always helpful haha. And while I would understand for obvious reasons that it shouldn't be used in heavy rain, I would appreciate decent protection against water damage or likewise a purchasable accessory to further protect the bike. As this would be of a commuting style, I was looking beneath the $2000 range. From my brief research, I found the Rad City 4 and Rad Mission to look interesting, though the City did seem heavy and Mission's single speed to be bothering along with the both of their batteries being rather exposed.
I appreciate any help on the topic as I am a novice. Thanks again!
