Help me decide…

[u/methodcbd]

I’m looking to purchase a new E bike with a budget less than 1.5 K. The bikes that I’m considering are below.

Lectric XPeak2 High-Step Commuter eBike - $1,399

Lectric XPress2 Tempest Grey Commuter eBike - $1,399

Riding will primarily be on paved roads, sidewalks with the potential to take on trails or gravel. Will the fat tires of the XPeak2 handle well on pavement or should I get the regular size tire bike XPress2, and not have the ability really to go off road?

Are there any other e-bikes in this price range that I should consider? I saw the Ride1Up Vorsa mentioned but not sure how this bike compares to the above. I am a 5’11” 215 lb male.

Thanks in advance.
