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 what you all consider the "best" eBike brands overall, and why. I've been riding my AiPAS commuter for about a year now, mostly city streets and some light trails, and it's been fantastic for my 10-mile round trip to work. But I'm starting to think about a potential upgrade or maybe a second eBike for more adventurous rides.

What brands stand out to you for reliability, performance, or value, regardless of the specific model? Are there any hidden gems or brands that consistently impress you across different categories like mountain, road, or cargo? Let's hear your thoughts!
