Hello, please forgive me if this is a common question. I have been reading the forums for a clue but the graphs and technical speak I have been reading in posts have me confused and many posts relate to builds or kits.
My wife suffers from ankle injuries and finds it hard to pedal to and from work(no motor vehicles allowed where we live). So I have been looking at complete electric bikes which may be suitable with little clarity. The ezip bikes seem to be very heavy which is a concern because our daily commute includes 2 miles up a unforgiving steep hill. I have heard that mid drive would be best as we often haul groceries either in the huge front basket or in a burley hooked behind. The island has a habit of destroying bikes due to rough trails, slick roads, steep hills and all weather riding every single day. One other requirement is the ability to ride without having to pedal assist the motor uphill. So a tough bike is needed. Any suggestions for something in a complete ready to run bike would be greatly appreciated.
