I think the top one is the Sigma model, you posted the Omega further down.

Oops! Corrected.

Civia Parkway Step-Thru (though obviously not a true step-through)

I think Court calls this frame type "kind of a mid step" .
In any case , nice one !
Bosch Active Drive
I would consider this bike if it were better spec'd .
Also , needs rear rack and front basket .
And fenders .

...and fenders, I found the Active Line motor on a Gazelle Arroyo I test rode was fine for me, but then I ride a 36v BBS01 without the throttle so most any Bosch would be an upgrade.

Trying to find something Russian, there appear to be three main domestic bicycle brands, Stels, Forward, and Aist in Belarus, and a bunch of ebike brands like OxyVolt, Eltreco, and Elbike. Folders are popular because of the need to carry them upstairs and store in an apartment. I did find this article about ebikes becoming more prominent at the main Moscow bike show.

OxyVolt Low Fat Ranger. Note the long travel front suspension fork and fat tires to cope with Russian roads.

SOFIE, a research project of the University of Twente in the Netherlands. This is a step-through ebike designed to prevent falls by elderly riders featuring a steeper head angle at the steering axis, smaller wheels (maybe 24"), a shorter wheelbase, drive off assistance and an automatically lowering saddle at low speeds. The designer presented a conference paper on the computer modelling of rider kinematics at an ASME meeting in Florida in 2012, and has published several academic papers on her work. This ebike is not in production, but the technology is useful for its intended ridership.

Bicycles have been around a long time, and I would think the dynamics have been pretty well worked out. So it seems odd that small wheels, a short wheelbase, and a steep head angle would equate to more stability, which is what I equate to a track cycle (fast and twitchy handling). But I only glance at the paper and I am not an engineer.
