New to eBikes - where to start?

Hey everyone!

Super excited to finally jump into the eBike world. I've been eyeing them for a while, and I'm ready to pull the trigger, but honestly, I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the options out there. I'm hoping to use it for a 10-mile round trip commute on mostly paved paths, maybe some light gravel on weekends. What are your absolute must-know tips or resources for someone completely new to eBikes? Should I focus on motor type, battery size, or something else entirely first?
