"I am looking to buy in the next couple of weeks but the more research I do the more confusing it gets.  Each site I go to has conflicting advice about what \"to buy\" and \"avoid\".  The only consistent guidance is to buy local but where I live there is not much to choose from.  \nI hope to shave some time off the 1.5 hr. (Avg.) commute, get in shape, and decrease my carbon foot print.  The route is ~22 miles, has some small hills but not too bad, and I weigh ~ 220 lb.  So the ebike needs to be capable of maintaining 17-20 Mph. for 22 mi. (I can recharge at work) with me pedaling 60-80% of the time.  I anticipate losing weight and providing more pedal assist as time goes on, but initially I expect the assist to be set at Max.  I am hoping to stay with a budget of $2,200 - $3,000 USD.\n\nThank you in advance for your assistance."
