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 finally pull the trigger on my first eBike – probably a commuter/hybrid style for my 15-mile round trip on paved paths and some light gravel. It's a bit overwhelming with all the options out there!

So, I wanted to open it up to the community: In your experience, what are some of the best eBike brands overall, and why? Are there any specific models you'd recommend checking out for reliability and a good ride?

Cheers!
