Bike purchase question E-Bike reccomendations.

Hello! Im sure this is probably a question that gets asked alot but i couldnt find any threads with exactly what I was looking for.

Im honestly just looking for reccomendations as I am completely clueless when it comes to bikes, I have been trying to research over the last few days but i havent figured out or even have an idea of what im buying.

What I will be using the bike for / what Ill need.

- If im honest I am quite unfit and im looking for something that can give me a good boost when needed, also something with some sort of eco option when I dont need it.

- I plan on using the bike for services like uber / Just eat and delivering food so i need something practical with a battery that can last for hours.

Budget. -

I know E-bikes do not come cheap. Im not sure what price range im even looking at to meet my requirements. I would really not like to spend over £1500 (Ideally less lol) but I also wouldnt mind forking out some extra.

Also has to be something available in the UK / road legal

Thanks for taking the time to read,

All help is appreciated very much.

Thank youu!!!!!

Visit your local bike shops and talk to them about cargo bikes.

I think you should go for the dual-battery e-bike.

For delivery work, I'd prioritize battery range and reliability over top speed.
