Best eBike brands overall

Hey everyone!

Just joined the forum and super excited to dive into the eBike world. I've been doing a ton of research lately, looking to get my first eMTB for some weekend trail riding and maybe a bit of commuting. There are so many brands out there, it's a bit overwhelming!

So, I wanted to open it up: In your experience, what are some of the best eBike brands overall, and why? I'm curious about everything from reliability and motor performance to customer service and value. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
