Best eBike brands overall

Hey everyone!

Been lurking for a bit and finally decided to jump in and start a discussion. I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on the "best eBike brands overall." I know "best" is super subjective, but I'm thinking about things like reliability, customer service, motor/battery quality, and overall value.

I've been riding my Aventon Pace 500 for a couple of years now, mostly for commuting 10 miles round trip and weekend trail rides, and it's been great for the price point. But as I start thinking about potentially upgrading in the future, maybe to something for longer touring or more rugged terrain, I'm wondering what brands you all swear by.

What are your top picks and why? Looking forward to hearing your experiences!
