Hello, I am sorry but I'd like to bring this thread back to life. I am still in the market as I did not purchase anything last year because I had to sell a bike to muster up the funds. As I said earlier I am looking for a commuter bike (step over or low step) not step through. I am located in Canada and here we get kind of dinged on pricing. I have a few types of bikes in mind that I like the look of so you can get an idea. My budget is about $3000 to $3500 Cdn so I'm guessing that puts me at about $2500 USD roughly. These are the types of bikes I'm looking at.

Giant Roam E+
Aventon Level 2
Gazelle Medeo T9
Ride 1 up Prodigy V2
Cube Touring Hybrid One 500
Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0

I am 6'1" tall and 240 pounds so a bike that offers a Small/Med and Large/XL type frame would be great. I'm usually around a 21"-22" frame or 56"-58" road bike frame.

What do you guys think. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh I should also mention I am really looking to get into a mid drive motor for my money if possible. Thanks
