clunky ebikes

I'm of the age and health status where riding in my area is a challenge - loaded with hills, very few flat stretches worth riding. So, time for an ebike? Straight bar, good gearing, good motor torque. To date, I've ridden crossover/hybrid bikes with mid sized tires like 700c38, but just can't power up the hills anymore.

Went out shopping yesterday and was surprised at how clunky (and heavy) the better ones were. Like the Trek Verves. Or the Trek Allants.

Is this a style thing or a necessity?

For those who got ebikes, was there much of an adjustment? What was your biggest surprise?

Thank you
