I live in Cleveland, Ohio. I have no mechanical ability with bikes. So I am looking for an electric bike for commuting to work and around town. I would need one that hopefully I would be able to assemble on delivery with little worry and something also low maintenance. No one in my area carries anything in stock. I'd like something that has a throttle so I could not pedal if I chose not to.

Any ideas? I have a trek but I wouldn't begin to know how to add a conversion kit to it.
