Hi folks,
I'm looking to get an electric bike to commute to and from work, plus perhaps the occasional weekend trip around the local area, budget of up to $4000 but always happy to spend less.
Trip to work is only about 10 km (20 km return), with about 150 m elevation gain on the way home (most of which is up only about 1 km of road), so not a long way, but I wouldn't mind being able to do 60 -100 km on weekends to visit local areas.
I've done a little bit of research and found that there's a lot of variety out there and I really don't know what I need. Have been looking at the Giant Roam E+ but it seems to be perpetually out of stock and I don't even know if it is the right bike for me.
What would you recommend? What should I avoid?

Every other food delivery person has one of these. So I got an NCM Aspen for off-road trails and absolutely love it.
