Hi I'm planing to purchase an e-bike. My problem is that I am trying to figure out which aspects or features of an e-bike are most important and how to prioritize them. I live in Salt Lake City Utah, which is in a valley with relatively flat terrain in the north-south direction and foothills and mountains in the east-west direction. I'm mostly going to be heading in the north south direction however once a month I'll be going to Utah University for a meeting and the campus is very hilly. Once a week on Tuesdays, I attend a writers meet up in the evening in Lehi UT, which is about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. I can take a train for most of the trip but want to use the bike to get to and from the train station. The problem is, to get to the meet, I must bike up a steep incline and use a pedestrian walkway to crosses over a freeway. Because of the train and walkway do I need folding capability? Also the meeting ends at about 9:00 at night and I am nervous about riding the bike after dark. There may be times that I need to take the bike along with me when I get a ride in someones car. Overall I'm not sure what the bike should and shouldn't do, specifically, what features I need on the e-bike. Here's a list of models I'm considering:
