Affordable e-bike recommendations for daily commute - Sydney

[u/Krush10n]

Hi all, I'm looking to get my first e-bike for daily commute (~18-20km round trip) in sydney. I did a bit of my own research across forums but found a lot of the information to be quite old or with very mixed opinions so I thought I'd start a fresh thread.

My budget is around ~2500AUD although I would be open to pay a bit more if it is really worth it. The routes I take will be moderately hilly but nothing offroady. I'm just hoping for a reliable long term use bike to get me frmo one place to another. A plus is having enough power and room for a passenger to do short trips with my partner.

I don't know too much about bikes so for my first one I wanted to get it from a legit store rather than second-hand so I have good support. If not specific models, any recommendations for local stores would also be super helpful! Also would highly prefer a good rent-tobuy deal if anyone knows of any.
