Do you have any recommendations for an ebike for daily commutes? (lemmy.world)

I've never had an ebike before and don't really know where I should start. I'm looking for something practical and hopefully not too expensive.

As nice as it might be, Brompton (even acoustic-only) is not in the "hopefully not too expensive" camp. Unless maybe you can get a deal on one used? (probably not given it seems to be a cult-classic sort-of-thing)

I did legitimately think about clones for a bit before finding a cheap as-close-as-I-can-get ebike, though.
