Alright. I don't really ride a bike that much, but would like to. I live in Florida and it is hot, but I don't have to worry to much about hills. I am looking for a bike that can help me at work (where I take inventory of cars at an airport - a LOT of walking), so it needs to be able to handle parking garage ramps. Also, a lot of the places I go to are withing 5 miles of my home, so I would use an e-bike for that too. I am looking for some solution under 1000 dollars since I am currently in college. Of course, kits are an option, but I am kinda scared I'd mess it up. I really want a lithium battery, too. Also, does anyone know about the Switch brand of electric bikes? The Traveler and Venus look nice, but there are no reviews for them anywhere.

Ack! Misspelled advice in the title! :<
