secondly the fire watch is obviously a pretty committed responsibility but this is primarily on commercial sites where a motor vehicle isn't practical as we move in between commercial units on the same property..

perhaps one thing you overlooked is i dont work 247365.. so i do plan on using the bicycle for personal commute locally around town as well.. and yes i really need all that equipment mounted to the bike..
... a bunch of other stuff/comments...
so for those of you making serious suggestions i appreciate it and for those playing with my thread theres plenty of other people to mess with out there.. quit trespassing here if you have nothing positive to contribute because frankly i really dont see any other point of commenting here than doing just that..
Incomplete and nebulous information is a primary cause for an OP's questions to not be answered directly or taken serious.
so maybe you should have been upfront and given this info at the outset?
so... bikes...
for $1500 you're not gonna get a customized anything... if you buy smart, you might get something which can be adapted to your needs, provide good service, and look like a nice bike.
carbon ? LOL! same for proper e-bike. Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang e-bike? sure you can cobble one together for $1500.
be happy to get a good size...
for versatile use, it's hard to beat a 'gravel bike' configuration... why? well, it'll ride nicely on most any road surface, offer a generally comfortable posture. have gearing for just about any type of terrain, have mount points for as many racks as anyone might want to use - for other equipment , or shopping, or whatever... And with no requirement to use them, they are generally 'invisible' . For close to $1500 you can get a pretty nice bike. Not the cutting edge of tech, but precision level parts, with long service life (if properly maintained).
And if the 'motor' is OK, it'll be a pretty fast bike.
Here's one I find to be a pretty nice 'Swiss Army Knife', looks good, from company known for good bikes, and more than adequate components. There are prolly more like this, from other bike companies.

How it fits into your self-imaging, that's you're worry.
Phone mounts are plentiful - tablet mounts may be harder to find, and be pricy when found...
But that's for you to figure out.
Peel back the BS layers and you'll come to what your most important needs are and what might suit best.
Ride On
