I was just approved earlier today. I am in the market to buy an e-bike, so I will be looking around here for advice. I suspect that there are going to be a lot of similar posts from others in the past!

Welcome to the site.
Lots of opinions here. Be ready for questions about your height, leg length, weight, desired riding posture, distance you have to travel between charges, # & grade of hills, surface you ride on, speed you want to attain, any possible cargo. Different bikes fit different conditions.

Welcome Jim, you can pretty much find most of your answers in this forum, but like Indianajo mentions many questions so pertinent to your riding, you have to be true to yourself and decide how much you’re willing to spend. Another thing you should do is get to a couple of bike shops that sell ebikes and try them out And ask them questions. What’s good for me may not be good for you. Ask lots of questions in this forum. These people are very informative and want to guide you In the right direction. The first step that I would take is where you’ll be riding, Is paved trails, hills and what class is legal where most of your riding is going to be. Good luck
