New to eBikes - where to start?

Hey everyone!

Just joined the forum and I'm super excited about potentially getting into eBikes. I've been doing some research, but honestly, it's a bit overwhelming with all the different motor types, battery sizes, and frame styles out there! I'm mostly looking for something to commute about 10 miles round trip on paved roads, maybe some light gravel paths on weekends. For those of you who've been riding for a while, what's the one piece of advice you wish you had when you were first starting out and looking for your first eBike? Any specific models or features you'd recommend checking out first?
